The front entrance of Bloomside, DESC’s Permanent Supportive Housing Site in Burien.
There have been recent claims about the work DESC is doing at Bloomside, our permanent supportive housing site in Burien. We want to make sure our supporters and community members have the facts.
Recent criticism overlooks the proven effectiveness of strategies like Housing First and harm reduction in ending homelessness.
Since 1979, DESC has been a recognized national leader in implementing innovative and cost-effective strategies that end chronic homelessness. One proven strategy is Housing First — the approach that offers immediate, low-barrier, and long-term stable housing paired with comprehensive behavioral health, medical, and support services to help people achieve lasting stability.
