Coordination of Services On-Site Many agencies will offer their services at Coordinated Entry, reducing access barriers and increasing outcomes.

Case Manager Program
The Case Manager Program at Hands of Hope provides a “Ladder of Success” by offering information and tools necessary to empower the Participant to get out of homelessness and become self-sufficient. While the Program will support the ladder, the Participant will do the work, one rung at a time until the goals have been achieved.
Participants in the Case Manager Program must be prepared to make a long-term commitment to develop the necessary life skills to achieve their goals. Their Case Managers are interested volunteers of Hands of Hope that meet with the Participants weekly assisting them to identify goals, objectives and prepare “Action Plans.”
We also help our clients with life skills to teach them to make better choices to end the cycle of dependency.

Client Advocate Committee
Our Client Advocate helps our clients with special needs not provided by our day program.  Often times these requests are for help with paper work; job resumes, applications for jobs, social security issues, bus tickets for verified appointments, talking them through personal issues, referrals to other agencies. At times, we help clients procure vital documents; birth certificates, ID’s, drivers licenses.
Frequently, the requests are for help with fuel and propane, bike tires and tubes, tools, work boots for a job, special needs for infants and children that cannot be purchased with food stamps, etc. etc.
If you wish to support the client Advocate budget please, note, on the memo line of your check, "Client Advocate".
