Case Management
Clients meet with case managers to help set and meet goals to self-sufficiency and break the bonds of homelessness. Year-round, our case managers provide counseling and referrals for additional assistance to those who are homeless or in imminent danger of becoming homeless. In one-on-one sessions, they empower clients to address myriad of needs. The task of our experienced case managers is to follow up immediate care with support, and by doing so, to help guests find the causes of and the means to overcome their homeless state. Schedule an appointment with Jim Rohde or with Sheila Rogers to start the ball rolling.
