GRIEVANCE PROCESS FOR DOWNSTREET RESIDENTS & PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

If you have a grievance or disagree with a Downstreet decision, we are committed to making sure that your concern is addressed as thoroughly as possible. If you feel like you can resolve the problem by talking to a staff person, please do that. If you’ve already tried or are uncomfortable with that approach, please tell us about it by filling out the other side of this form.

Please note that in no event will filing of a concern, complaint or grievance have any effect upon your receipt of housing or services. If you are filing a grievance, below is a description of Downstreet’s process so you know what to do and what to expect from us.

After we receive your grievance, here is what will happen:

Step 1: Based on your concern, the information will be forwarded to the Supervisor or Director of the most appropriate department.

Step 2: The Supervisor or Director will contact you upon receipt of the written grievance and schedule a time to talk within 14 calendar days. After reviewing the grievance, the Supervisor or Director will respond in writing within 7 calendar days, outlining actions to be taken to address the grievance.

Step 3: If the concern is not resolved with the response of the Supervisor or Director, it will be referred to Downstreet’s CEO for review. After reviewing the grievance documentation, the CEO will request further information as needed and provide a written response to the grievance within 14 calendar days.
