What Works
Consistent communication with CARE individuals and families makes the families feel supported throughout their process of locating resources. These families report that they have someone they can trust to connect them to the best possible resources to meet their needs. Also, continuing to build relationships with local providers helps CARE to stay abreast on opportunities and resources in the community. Lastly, educating families on requirements for housing (i.e.: minimum income necessary for housing, how to apply for housing, looking for available housing, etc.) helps families make a plan for obtaining the housing they are in need of.
Program Summary
The CARE program provides a pathway for families in the navigation of the service delivery system. Under a “no wrong door” policy, families are able to enter the LAM through referrals from existing agencies including the care mangement entity (CME) or through individual contact in order to access all available services to support family to remain in community.
