The Hawaii Pathways Project (HPP) Intensive Case Manager – Veterans (ICM) is a member of a multi-disciplinary team responsible for ensuring HPP consumers (identified as veterans who are chronically homeless and struggling with substance use disorders and/or serious mental illness) are provided with 24/7 intensive case management services that allow them to locate, acquire, and maintain permanent housing.

The program is under the direct supervision of the Helping Hands Hawaii (HHH) Medical Director, HPP Team Leader (TL), and HHH Director of Behavioral Health, to ensure adequate staff to support a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment in which members and staff work.
