About DESC:
DESC (Downtown Emergency Service Center) is a nonprofit organization working to help people with the complex needs of homelessness, substance use disorders, and serious mental illness achieve their highest potential for health and well-being through comprehensive services, treatment, and housing. Our vision is a community where no person is abandoned, ignored, or experiencing homelessness.
As the region's leading provider of services to multiply disabled adults who have experienced chronic homelessness, DESC serves almost 2,000 people each day. 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.
JOB DEFINITION
The Housing Stabilization Specialists (HSS's) are part of a multidisciplinary team that works to support tenants with chronic issues maintaining apartment conditions. The Unit Condition Response Team works with tenants in three Permanent Supportive Housing projects to address acute concerns, as well as strategize and implement preventative solutions to avoid future unit condition issues.
This innovative position, in partnership with the existing care team, will create and implement client-centered housing stability plans and assist residents with achieving goals that align with their stability plan. Support will range from more intensive hands-on work in the initial intervention phase, to less frequent home visits to support ongoing maintenance.
This role seeks to heighten positive engagement with individuals with high medical needs, persistent mental illness and substance use disorders, frequent institutional contacts and treatment stays, or simply more intensive support needs. It's the perfect position for someone who wants high client engagement; likes creativity, independence and teamwork; and wants to see long-term, tangible results
MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
DESC is committed to diversity in the workplace, and promotes equal employment opportunities for all staff members and applicants. The Agency will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, caste, marital status, or the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability in any employment practice, unless based on a bona fide occupational qualification. Minorities and veterans are encouraged to apply.
