REACH Mission and Values:

The REACH Program of Evergreen Treatment Services works with individuals experiencing homelessness and behavioral health conditions to help them achieve stability and improved quality of life. Through outreach, relationships, advocacy and bridging gaps, REACH focuses on reducing harm and supporting healing. REACH provides outreach-based care coordination, multidisciplinary clinical services, and support to access and maintain housing. All services are based in principles of harm reduction that offer respect and dignity to individuals moving through stages of change in their lives. REACH incorporates a racial equity lens that includes naming the impact and actively dismantling systems of oppression rooted in White Supremacy, while addressing the root causes perpetuating historical trauma and immense suffering in individuals’ lives. We are committed to building a robust behavioral health response that diverts people away from jail by rebuilding community and providing services to ensure those presently marginalized aren’t just surviving, but able to thrive.

Overview of LEAD ProgramLEAD (Let Everyone Advance with Dignity, formerly known as the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program) is a collaborative project aimed at building community capacity to increase public health and safety while decreasing reliance on policing and the legal system to respond to public order issues related to drug use and sex work. LEAD provides equity-based solutions for individuals historically overrepresented in the criminal legal system due to the racist criminalization of poverty and homelessness, and the “war on drugs” which has disproportionately harmed communities of color. REACH LEAD provides comprehensive services to adults experiencing behavioral health challenges to support these individuals to achieve improved quality of life and reduce recidivism. Services include outreach and intensive care management, legal assistance, housing placement, behavioral health treatment and recovery support, and linkage to a variety of community resources.

Job SummaryThis position is critical to the LEAD project, by providing engagement and intensive case management services to individuals suspected of low-level drug offenses and/or prostitution. The Case Manager will provide direct services to an active case load of approximately 25-30 individuals. Case managers provide outreach, long-term engagement and supportive services for participants through intensive case management activities and collaboration with LEAD partners, service providers, housing providers and other community organizations. This position will serve the individuals in the city of Seattle, out of our Downtown location.
