Yes, We Can Help.
Neighbors' Consejo implements an excellent language assistance program. We are prepared to meet the many obstacles Latino(a) homeless individuals encounter, two important ones: language and cultural barriers.
Our beliefs:
Holistic Approach: We believe in a holistic approach to eliminating poverty. With an emphasis on social services, raising and self-advocacy we help women and men overcome language employment barriers, addiction and disease.
We seek to understand and affect the root causes of homelessness and poverty, including racism, economic inequity and health disparities.
Our Services:
Upon the arriving to Neighbors' Consejo for the first time, our clients meet with one of our bilingual experts in case management. The Caseworker performs a holistic analysis of the presenting issues and develops an individualized service plan.
The case management team address physical and mental health care needs, housing and shelter needs, immigration and legal issues, domestic violence, substance abuse, and basic needs such as food and clothing, public benefit elegibility and emergency fianacial aid.
Our caseworkers regularly see homeless men and women who have suffered years of addiction without proper treatment, women who are victimized by domestic violence, families who have no access to adequate health care despite their desired needs. Also, we serve recent immigrants who have few skills and little knowledge of how to access resources in the U.S.
