About The Position

At TASC (Treatment Alternatives for Stronger Communities), our mission is to empower people and strengthen communities with impactful services. Since 1976, we have been guided by the belief that every individual holds the potential for positive change. We advocate, support, and most importantly, empower people to break barriers, find recovery, and reshape their destinies. Through Specialized Case Management®, we create a world where recovery, justice, and empathy lead to thriving communities. Our foundation is anchored at the intersection of behavioral health and the criminal legal system. Today, TASC also operates at the forefront of transformative solutions. We are a social impact organization that embodies a future where health, safety and justice is synonymous with hope. We are TASC! The Housing Division provides safe, affordable housing paired with wraparound supportive services to individuals and families who have experienced chronic homelessness, mental illness, substance use disorders, or other significant barriers to stability. Guided by Housing First principles, the division works to promote long-term housing stability, improve health and well-being, and foster independence by integrating case management, clinical supports, and community engagement. Through partnerships with public agencies, funders, and community organizations, the division advances the nonprofit’s mission to reduce homelessness and create equitable pathways to housing security and self-sufficiency. The B.R.I.D.G.E To Home (B2H) Program serves individuals returning from Illinois prisons who face significant and often compounded barriers to successful reentry. Frequently excluded from traditional housing and support systems, these individuals are at increased risk of homelessness and recidivism. The program’s primary goal is to provide permanent supportive housing for individuals traditionally considered hard to place, creating a foundation for long-term stability and successful reintegration into the community. Guided by low-barrier, housing placement principles, the B2H Program eliminates preconditions such as abstinence or mandatory treatment participation, offering immediate access to housing.
