I am writing this on behalf of David Webster.
David has been a client of mine since 3/16/2016. He currently receives weekly therapy from me for the treatment of Bipolar 1 Disorder and he receives medication management from Bellevue Hospital's mental health outpatient clinic.
David's living arrangements have recently changed and he is at an increased risk of street level homelessness. David is unable to work due to the severity of his condition and is beginning the process of applying for disability benefits.
David is currently living on and off with friends but this situation is not permanent. He lacks consistent access to food and due to the transient nature of his life at this time, many of his belongings are at risk of being lost due to a lack of storage capacity.
I have advised him to contact your office to see if you can help him with the above mentioned issues.
He could benefit from SNAP food assistance, referral for case management services to assist with permanent housing, help with his disability application, and if possible assistance with storing his personal items until his housing situation is secure.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and thank you for your help with this matter.
Sincerely,
Steven Dawson LCSW
