Social Services

Any District resident, regardless of income, may speak with a case manager during our walk-in hours.  We provide a wide range of client-centered services and are flexible to the varying needs of the District’s vulnerable residents. 

Through the in-take process, we assess clients’ needs and provide information and referrals to help link individuals with appropriate services.  We use a strengths-based approach, listening intently to the needs of each individual in order to build relationships and work towards self-sufficiency.

What begins with a referral and a few simple conversations can lead to more intensive case management, where goals are established and individuals work one-on-one with a case manager to address such issues as unemployment, substance abuse, a housing crisis, or mental or physical health challenges.  We also assist individuals in applying for a variety of public benefit programs when appropriate.

We provide:

• In-take interviews
• Walk-in and on-call assistance
• Case Management
• Application Services
• Representative Payee Services
• Job readiness training through our Pre-Employment Program
