Description The Center for Urban Community Services, (CUCS), is an acclaimed human services organization and one of the nation's largest providers of housing and social services. CUCS is a leader in implementing new practices, sharing knowledge and assisting in shaping local, state and national strategies, so that persons who are homeless, low-income, living with mental illness, or have other special needs can live successfully in the community. CUCS invites applications for a Per Diem Social Worker at the Park House/Webster. The Park House and Webster Ave residences are supportive housing sites in the Tremont section of the Bronx for low-income and formerly homeless families and individuals. Both buildings are new construction (opened in 2018), developed on the same plot of land, and connected by an outdoor courtyard area. CUCS staff provide social services at both sites. The Webster houses 170 tenants and Park House houses 20 special needs tenants. CUCS provides comprehensive on-site social services using a recovery orientation, which include evidence based practices with particular emphasis on mental health, chemical dependency and services to people living with HIV/AIDS. The Per Diem Social Worker will supervise the Friday evening and Saturday daytime program.
