SOCIAL SERVICE OUTREACH
WE PROVIDE IMMEDIATE HELP AND SUPPORT TO CLIENTS IN NEED
OUTREACH BEGINS WITH LISTENING.
Our Social Service Coordinator or designated staff members meets with clients to understand their situation and evaluate the help we can provide to solve their problem or challenge. The list of needs are similar but the circumstances are always unique so each solution is tailored to meet the client's need. A summary of the types of requests we receive include:
-
Housing requests
-
Domestic violence concerns
-
Veterans benefits
-
Lost identification documents
-
Help with benefit applications
-
Clothing requests
-
Disaster relief (referrals from the American Red Cross or other agencies)
-
Diapers and other products for infant, toddler and adult care
-
Transportation concerns
-
Nutritional supplements
SERVICES
When the South Bay Outreach Center can't provide an immediate solution to a client's problem or challenge we find a partner agency to help.
We do not just provide a name and a number and pass our clients off to another agency; we help them understand the referral agency's process and many times stay with them through the process as a mentor or coach. Our objective is to get our clients the help they need.
We have many great partners in our social service support network. Below is a short list of those we frequently call for client support. We recommend your support of these agencies through civic action or fundraising for nonprofit agencies:
