• The case manager offers referrals, advocacy, weekly meetings, educational sessions, and transportation to clients to increase their awareness of self and services, decrease barriers, and connect to additional supportive services. These services include health, treatment and employment programs.
• The goal of case management is to help clients develop an awareness of support networks or social services will be available when clients exit shelter, so they are more likely to have the capacity to address future barriers, increase self-sufficiency, and maintain permanent housing.
