Inept - Counselor DESC Employee Review

Thank you for your comments. We have a strict drug-free workplace policy for DESC staff. If violations of this policy are occuring, we expect the issue to be reported so it can be appropriately dealt with. Our agency has learned that change is more permanent when we give clients autonomy to choose when/how/if they utilize the services we provide. We know we cannot force people to change. There are many causes of homelessness, and DESC is just one of many agencies working to address the crisis. Thanks to DESC, over 1,600 people have permanent places to live and more than 6,000 people receive services each year - all this on a total budget of less than $100 million per year.
