HOW WILL YOU MAKE AN IMPACT?As the Clinical Program Manager, you will provide strategic and clinical leadership for Medicaid-funded behavioral health services within the Supportive Housing and Homelessness Response pillar. You'll oversee the implementation, quality, and compliance of Certified Peer Support Services (CPSS) across key programs, including the Women's Housing Navigation Center, Gateway West Shelter, and additional supportive housing initiatives as they are developed.
The Clinical Program Manager ensures that all services align with New Mexico Medicaid (MAD) requirements, behavioral health best practices, and organizational standards.

You will collaborate closely with the Integrated Health and Human Services (IHHS) pillar and shared services teams-including compliance, quality, human resources, finance, and billing-to ensure operational alignment, regulatory adherence, and excellence in service delivery.
