THE SEARCH
For over 40 years, Columbus House has worked tirelessly to provide

state of Connecticut. As Columbus House embarks upon its next
chapter, the organization seeks an experienced, collaborative,
strategic, and innovative leader who is deeply passionate and

concerns of housing-first organizations to a broader audience.
Partnerships are vitally important to Columbus House's work, and
this leader must continue to strengthen existing and facilitate
novel partnerships to advance the organization's mission.
Columbus House is committed to meeting clients "where they are",
