Job description
Help People Move from Homelessness to Housing—And Stay There
$5,000 Sign-On Bonus
Endeavor Health Services is seeking a Licensed Mental Health Clinician to join our Safe Options Support (SOS) Team, delivering Critical Time Intervention (CTI) to individuals experiencing street homelessness.
This is not a traditional clinic role. You’ll work as part of a multidisciplinary outreach team, engaging individuals in the community and supporting them through the critical transition from homelessness to stable housing—ensuring they build the supports needed to remain housed long-term.
Your Impact
Using the CTI model, you will provide structured, time-limited support across key transition phases:
Engagement & Trust Building: Conduct assertive outreach in streets, shelters, hospitals, and community settings
Transition to Housing: Coordinate housing placement, complete SPOA and other applications, and support move-in planning
Stabilization: Provide short-term clinical support and strengthen connections to behavioral health, medical care, and community resources
Transfer of Care: Ensure long-term supports are in place so participants can maintain housing and independence
What You’ll Do Deliver field-based outreach and engagement using trauma-informed, harm reduction, and person-centered approaches
Provide brief, targeted clinical interventions aligned with CTI phases
Collaborate daily with SOS teammates and community partners to coordinate care
Participate in hospital discharge planning and care transitions
Advocate for participants experiencing systemic barriers or healthcare inequities
Support housing stability through ongoing check-ins and problem-solving with tenants and providers
Supervise case managers and peer staff
Complete timely documentation and contribute to data-informed care
What Makes This Role Different Structured around the evidence-based CTI model (not open-ended case management)
Clear focus on housing transitions and time-limited intervention
Team-based outreach model—you’re not working in isolation
High-impact work with visible outcomes in the community
What You Bring Master’s degree or higher in Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, Nursing, or Psychology
Active license (LMSW, LCSW, LMHC, RN, or equivalent)
Experience providing mental health and/or substance use services
Strong clinical assessment and engagement skills in community settings
Ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team
Preferred: Experience working with homeless or vulnerable populations
Familiarity with Western New York systems and resources
Compensation & Benefits $55,276 – $68,776/year (based on experience and credentials)
$5,000 sign-on bonus
Medical, dental, and company-paid vision
Company-paid life, AD&D, and long-term disability
401(k) with employer contribution
Generous PTO + 10 paid holidays
Employee Assistance Program + discounted pet insurance
PSLF eligibility
Clinical supervision toward advanced licensure
