In general, an average caseload is approximately 65 clients and can be more or less depending on case intensity and program capacity. The target population of this office is individuals who are gravely disabled, (unable to provide for food, clothing and shelter as a result of chronic mental illness and/or chronic alcoholism), as a result of major mental illness as defined by the Diagnostic Statistical Manuel (DSM). The population also includes individuals who may have involvement with the Criminal Justice System and are being held in jail and State Hospitals or other facilities designated for those who have committed, or are alleged to have committed a crime.
