    Our integrated service model is designed to help people secure and maintain appropriate, safe and affordable housing. DESC is recognized nationally and regionally as an innovator in developing solutions to homelessness.

    About DESC's Clinical Programs:


    The DESC Clinical Programs comprise an important part of the behavioral health treatment system in King County, particularly for people who are experiencing homelessness or are otherwise in crisis.

    DESC enrolls and provides outpatient mental health and substance use disorder treatment as part of the King County Integrated Care Network.

    These services are principally Medicaid-funded.

    In addition to targeting these services to people living with serious and persistent mental illness, those served in DESC outpatient care are more likely to be experiencing homelessness, have experience with the criminal legal system, and have more severe psychiatric conditions on average than others served in the broader system.

    This adds to the complexity and difficulty of the work.

    DESC's Clinical Programs also include numerous specialty behavioral health services including street outreach and engagement, PACT, Supported Employment, crisis respite, intensive services to assist homeless people obtain housing and treatment, intensive services for Trueblood class members, and low-barrier medications for opioid use disorder.

    An additional major component of the Clinical Programs is behavioral health crisis response, comprising multiple mobile crisis response programs operating 24/7 across King County as well as the Crisis Solutions Center, providing short term voluntary psychiatric care for people diverted from jail and hospital stays.

    The main focus of the DESC Clinical Programs is to meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness or who used to be in that condition.

    This involves collaboration with numerous community systems and providers, as well as internal partners in DESC's survival services and permanent supportive housing programs.

    The total FTE employee count across all Clinical Programs is 383.
