Hands Of Diversity - "Where Helping One Another Is The Key"
The following six-component program serves as the model utilized to foster stability for partipants:
 
  • Orientation:  The first step of orientation takes place when the social work/casemanager or client makes a phone call to Hands of Diversity Service Center. If the client passes this initial screening, they will be invited to come to the Center for intake.
 
  • Needs Assessment and Action Plan:  The Program Director will conduct an in-depth interview and assessment with the client. Based upon the intake and the assessment, the Program Director and the client will design a written Action Plan that meets the individual's needs.              
                             
  • Progress Tracking:  Each day, the staff will review progress in carrying out the Action Plan to determine where strong advocacy and/or intervention should occur.
                                     
  • In-House Support Services:  Throughout a client's stay, the center will provide many opportunities for residents to learn and share more about a variety of topics. Topics for adults will include: Basic healthcare services, nutrition and sanitation, Life Skills Training, Budgeting and money management, Psychotherapy, Child Care, Permanent Housing Search, Job/self-employment training.
 
  • Resettlement: Resettlement assistance will be provided for all individuals who manifest their need.
  • Follow-up: HOD staff will contact former residents quarterly to learn of their progress and any continuing needs.
