Case Management

Please consider a tax deductable donation.

The real power in our outreach to the homeless is the many community volunteers and staff from the Christian community around the outreach who provide case management functions under the supervision of professional staff. Evidence outcomes approaches such as Critical Time Intervention (CTI) are used.

These volunteers and staff work with clients to provide a Plan of Action for Independence, and meet weekly with clients to track progress in the various competency areas preventing a homeless person from becoming independent.

These competency areas include:

Chemical Dependency
Mental Health (anxiety, depression, et cetera)
Attention to Medical and Dental Health
Structured Living and Basic Life Skills
Money Management
Anger Management
Relationship Skills
Sexual abstinence outside of marriage
Socialization
Healthy Support Network Development
Crime Freedom
Work Ethic
Community Service
Job Skills (hard and soft skills)
Job Placement Skills (applications, resumes, interviews)
Cleanliness and Personal Hygiene

Working with homeless persons in the various competency areas.

Assisting residents in restoration of relationships and providing life skills mentoring.

Assisting monolingual Spanish speaking residents in all areas mentioned.
