    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 team works throughout the greater Seattle area to provide critical survival services and engagement with the ultimate goal of addressing acute mental and physical health needs, increasing stability, obtaining housing, and transitioning to long-term services.

    Referrals to this program will often include individuals with a history of involuntary detainments or observable behavioral health challenges, they often will not endorse a mental health or substance use issue, or have the insight into the impact of their well-being and access to care and resources.


    The Mental Health Case Manager provides outreach, engagement, and ongoing services to a small caseload of homeless adults with severe & persistent mental health disorders and/or co-occurring disorders.

    This position requires a high degree of coordination and collaboration with other DESC programs as well as outside agencies to ensure successful transition of consumers to ongoing care.

    Prioritize crisis intervention with clients as needed. This may include de-escalation, outreach to emergency departments, and/or making referrals to the county Designated Crisis Response system.
