Supportive Services
Toward strength and hope for the future
Working poor and
unemployed individuals and families are often the first to suffer
during difficult economic times, and they are frequently the last
to recover. They often have few resources to fall back on when a
serious illness, sudden layoff or unexpected expenses occurs. Keystone’s
supportive services help struggling individuals and families cope
with short-term problems and develop long-term strategies for self-sufficiency.
PROGRAM
SUMMARY
Basic Needs and Emergency/Short Term Case Management Services:
Keystone staff offer immediate and practical help with basic needs
such as food, clothing, transportation and housing. Staff are available
to meet with the individual/family either at their home or at a
convenient Keystone location.
Long
Term Case Management Services: Keystone staff provide intensive
case management services to families who are at risk of losing custody
of their children due to chronic neglect and/or abuse. Services
include weekly home visits and regular phone contact.
Community
Alternatives for Disabled Individuals (CADI) and Traumatic Brain
Injury (TBI): Individuals with significant disabilities
receive a variety of services and support to make it possible for
them to successfully live at home in their communities.
Information
and Referral: Keystone is a point of contact for people
to find helpful community services. Assistance is provided over
the phone or in-person at Keystone locations.
