From our headquarters, Case Managers provide children 24-hour services, 7 days a week. We rescue youth from pimps, help with medical services, public health insurance, social security/disability benefits, maternity housing, drug program placement, transportation, mental health services, psychiatric evaluations or access to psychotropic medications, advocacy with the courts, social workers, probation officers, resumes, job placement, access to vocational/trade schools or community colleges.
These children and young people require multiple contacts daily, step-by-step directions and transportation to complete some of the common tasks required to access care. They are easily frustrated by the process of accessing services and cannot complete applications on their own. They miss appointments, need to be reminded, led, nudged, and provided transportation. They require handholding, and without this constant support they will remain on the streets.
Our case management clients receive mental health services, psychiatric evaluations, psychotropic medications, application for social security/disability, transportation to other services, placement in independent living programs, transitional housing, maternity homes or substance abuse programs. We help with resumes, school supplies, financial aid, college applications and placement in college. We advocate for them with their social workers, probation officers, the courts etc.
Access to long-term programs requires essential documents and there is an order to obtaining each document. These basic requirements as well as others must be met prior to placement in independent living and transitional housing programs, maternity homes, detox programs. We successfully move sex trafficking victims from the streets to stabilization and placement in jobs, special educational schools, trade schools, vocational schools and community colleges.
