1. Next Step Program
This comprehensive case management program includes a continuum of level of services provided. The intensity of the services provided is based on the needs of each individual client. The goal is to move the client we are serving to the next level on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We are focusing on the first four levels of needs on the hierarchy. We assist our clients by navigating existing service systems and coordinating services when a person has multiple service providers. When a service is needed that does not already exist, we "think outside of the box" to come up with a solution.
Sample Service Cases
a. When Mohamed was referred to PHP he was living in a barren apartment with only a mattress on the floor. His apartment was in a bad neighborhood, and Mohamed was very frightened living there. It was winter when Mohamed's PHP case manager first visited him at his apartment. His apartment was cold; Mohamed could not even afford heat. He had no income and was unable to work due to his disabilities. Mohamed's PHP case manager helped him get Social Security benefits. She then helped him find Section 8 subsidized housing in a neighborhood where he felt safe. Once safe and secure, his PHP case manager helped him to fulfull his dream of becoming a United States citizen. Mohamed later got married and is now the proud father of twin sons.
b. Jo came to PHP with health problems that were making it more and more difficult for her to work at her part-time job. However, because Jo had no health insurance, she would not go to the doctor. Jo's case manager navigated local health systems to help her get the medical care she needed. She accompanied Jo to every doctor's appointment. After seeing several specialists, Jo found out that without brain surgery she would become permanently disabled and eventually confined to a wheelchair. With the help of her PHP case manager, Jo got the surgery she needed. Jo is now working full-time. As a full-time employee, Jo is now able to access the health insurance coverage that her employer offers. Jo has received recognition from her employer as an "honored employee."
2. TEN ("Things Everyone Needs") Program
Many adults with disabilities have little or no income. They may be living in subsidized housing and have food stamps, but they lack the money to buy essential needs items such as toilet paper, shampoo, and household cleaners. These essential items cannot be purchased with food stamps. In response to this need, PHP has established the TEN Program. Participants in the TEN Program are provided with these essential needs, as well as a small amount of money to do laundry. Participants in the TEN Program receive case management assistance through the Next Step program to move them from zero income to some kinds of income. This income might be SSI/SSDI or income from employment. All participants in the TEN Program are required to provide a minimal amount of community service. Things we need....
3. Give Program
This is the Community Service/Volunteer component of PHP. We assist clients in finding appropriate and meaningful volunteer assignments and monitor their participation. These experiences will sometimes open doors to subsequent employment. The primary goal is always to improve quality of life and facilitate their integration into the community.
