We take a systematic approach to client services. A purposeful, goal-directed, holistic process allows our Family Resource Coordinators the opportunity to assist clients with goal setting. After the client has outlined their goals, they work with our coordinators to develop an action plan with measurable milestones and also, ways to deal with barriers to their success. There are many benefits to this approach. The key areas addressed are:
- Housing - With the support of our Housing Department, we provide the counseling and support necessary to move clients from subsidized housing to unsubsidized rentals or homeownership.
- Transportation - We assist our clients in finding affordable transportation or provide instruction on use of the public transportation system.
- Reduction of Government Benefits - We work with our clients to assist them in the elimination or reduction of government subsidies. Ultimately, success for our clients is marked by the following:
- GED or HS graduate
- NO Government Subsidies
- At or above 200% of Poverty Guidelines
- Full-time Employment with Benefits
- Homeowner or Paying Current Market Rent
- Owns a Car or Proficiently Using Public Transportation
- Education - If needed, the client receives the information and guidance necessary to complete a GED, high school diploma, or higher education.
- Employment - Our goal is for each client to become employed full-time with benefits.
- Income Increases - For those clients already employed, we work with them on honing their interpersonal and work skill with the goal of advancing in their careers to achieve incomes of 200% of poverty level or greater.
