Hillcrest’s Supported Employment program has been actively serving the community for the past six years. We initially began by supporting Community Support Team (CST) clients in obtaining and maintaining competitive employment. Shortly thereafter, we expanded our services to include individuals from the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) program. Today, Hillcrest remains theonly provider in the city offering Supported Employment specifically tailored for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders.
Since the program’s inception, we have secured a total of 185 job placements. Our goal each fiscal year is to achieve 200+ total employment placements. To support this effort, our team conducts weekly job development outreach in the community to build and maintain strong employer partnerships. In addition, Hillcrest has collaborated with the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) to provide educational trainings to other providers.
We have proudly achieved job placements in a variety of industries and roles, including:
- HR Assistant- Department of Homeland Security
