Needs
Assessment
We understand that limited access to resources and services can increase the risk of homelessness. That’s why we’re committed to creating thoughtful needs assessment plans tailored to each individual. During your assessment, we’ll identify your current needs, and your dedicated case manager will work closely with you to develop a personalized support plan. This plan may include assistance with opening a bank account, obtaining a driver’s license, accessing health insurance, setting life goals, attending healthy living classes, receiving bus passes, obtaining a no-fee birth certificate voucher, participating in group classes, and more. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

“You can get excited about the future. The past won’t mind.”
- Hillary DePiano
