Therapist, Montgomery County ACT Team

Salary: $75,000 - $85,000

Pathways to Housing DC is an innovative agency based in the heart of Washington, D.C with services in Montgomery County Maryland. We believe that housing is a basic human right, and that without housing people are unable to address their mental health disorders, addictions, and other life stressors. We provide each person entering our program their own apartment, without requiring treatment compliance or sobriety as a prerequisite. We then provide each person with intensive support services to help them stay housed and begin their journey to recovery.

The Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team provides flexible, community-based services that are designed to promote the stability, recovery and community reintegration of formerly homeless individuals who have a mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders. The ACT Therapist is responsible for providing clinical, community-based mental health services to people experiencing/formerly experiencing homelessness in Montgomery County.
