• Referrals to community agencies for services and housing

CRISIS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Services for families in crisis:

Low-income families face enormous stresses. The pressure can severely disrupt family life and lead to homelessness, family disruption and separation.  Project R.A.R.E. Case Manager’s will work with families to identify specific need(s) and agency(s) within their area that will be able to assist.  By assessing the client’s current dilemma, thoroughly, it is our endeavor to eliminate the community residents visiting and calling multiple agencies.  Community residents will be availed a one-stop triage location to help them evaluate how and where to receive temporary assistance.    
 
Continuum of Services:

We endeavor to work along side individuals and families to help them reach self sufficiency using strength based service model.  Helping them with their immediate crisis is only part of the process.  Case Managers will help individual families define and meet goals to: 

• develop life skills
• connect with community resources
• improve their housing and employment situations
• nurture and support their children
