Company Profile
Downtown Emergency Service Center
Company Overview
DESC opened its doors in 1979 as an emergency shelter, a place for vulnerable adults living with behavioral health disorders and chronic homelessness to come in out of the cold for the night.
Today our mission is not merely to offer shelter, but to end the homelessness of our community's most vulnerable people, through an integrated array of clinical services and supportive housing that allows men and women to reclaim their lives and reach their highest potential.
Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
For 30 years, DESC has worked to end the homelessness of vulnerable men and women, particularly those with serious mental and addictive illnesses. This year our integrated array of comprehensive services, treatment and housing will help more than 7,000 people. At DESC, uncommon efforts produce uncommon results that eliminate homelessness, one person at a time.
