Company Overview & Mission Columbus House opened its doors in 1982 to provide services for men and women at least 18 years of age. Our goals quickly broadened from the mere provision of food and shelter and simple survival, to understanding and working toward overcoming the problems which cause people to become homeless. Columbus House, along with its core of loyal supporters, friends, and volunteers, has remained committed to fulfilling its mission: "To serve people experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk by providing life-saving outreach, shelter and housing and by fostering their personal growth and independence. We advocate for and create affordable housing to end homelessness in our communities."
Under the direction of the Middlesex Emergency Services Manager, the Outreach Case Manager seeks to outreach and engage men and women over the age of eighteen who are homeless and struggle with unresolved issues of mental illness and substance abuse and are not receiving services and to link them to agencies and activities that will stabilize their lives, support their sobriety, and empower them to end their homelessness.
