What we Provide

OVERSEE HOUSING SITUATIONS

Most of the Individuals we currently work with have a place of their own; however, there are times when housing needs to be modified or sought out and our PA’s and Case Managers will assist them throughout the whole process. We will find and secure housing. This may include applying for moveable Section 8 certificates or housing authority properties among other options. Once housed, Individuals will receive assistance from Case Managers to maintain current housing, work with housing management around accessibility, and manage maintenance issues.

Individuals may receive education and/or physical support to pay bills and budget monthly expenses. Case Managers/PA’s can also assist Individuals to resolve any pre-existing financial problems and get back on track.
