How Can We Help You?
First Priority is given to emergency situations. Solutions may be immediately available on site or other community resources are sought for the individual and their family.
The staff's primary objective is to obtain the information needed during the initial intake visit to provide a comprehensive assessment that will connect families with resources to provide stability and to reduce barriers to their
self-sufficiency.
Referrals are then made to any of the services in which the family member has an identified need. Applications for rental assistance through HUD's section 8 program and Weatherization
of homes can be completed, as well as initiation of job training services and referral to Head Start. Referrals are also made to any of the Community Services
Department's own programs and to multiple other social services agencies in the community.
You may download a copy of the Community Services Brochure for a list of our Outreach Office contact information. This brochure will also provide you with a detailed description of the services
available.
When people first come to us for help we ask questions about what other needs they may have. They are then referred to all the resources that might be helpful for their situation. These services may be services offered by OAI, or services provided by others in the community. People sometimes find all this help a huge surprise.
