  • Equip an apartment at Burbridge Place!
    DESC is almost ready to have clients move into Burbridge Place and we need your help to make our 124 incoming tenants feel at home in their apartments right away!
  • Advocacy is central to DESC’s work
    “Over the years advocacy around policy and public investment to address homelessness and to address the needs of people living with serious and persistent behavioral health conditions has been central to our work,” says DESC Deputy Director for Strategy Nicole Macri.
