Case Management
We believe it’s important that individuals and families have easier access to services and resources, especially when facing a short-term hardship. Through our Case Management service, staff specialists act as a service coordinator to connect those in need of emergency assistance with services and funding to stabilize the crisis and just as important, to begin planning for their future.
This program aids:
- Employable individuals with the potential to increase income.
- Individuals receiving a fixed income through Social Security or SSI.
Participating in the Case Management service eliminates the need to visit multiple agencies in order to get their most basic needs addressed. Staff members work to meet the emergency needs of the customer and then help them develop steps to achieve financial self-sufficiency. The goal of Case Management is not to be a band-aid service, but to help the customer achieve life-changing results.
Customer's Unique Needs Drive Our Focus
The underlying questions always addressed are: “Who are you? Where are you now? Where do you want to go? How can we work together to get you there?”
The partnership between a staff specialist and a customer consists of ongoing mentoring, support and coaching in areas such as: employment support, financial management skills, food assistance, group activities, advocacy, and referrals to other local agencies.
Agency staff work with local community partners to create a funding pool to assist those in need. It takes an average of $500 to help stabilize a family in immediate crisis so that they can begin working toward self-sufficiency.
