$1,000 SIGN ON BONUS The Organization SSG-Project 180 turns lives around through innovative, wraparound services that keep people out of institutions and in their communities.

The Program The Full Service Partnership (FSP) program is funded by the Department of Mental Health (DMH) and designed for adults ages 26-59 who have been diagnosed with a severe mental illness and would benefit from an intensive service program.
