Community Wellbeing & Social Services
As the third pillar, our community programs and social services seek to address today’s social issues such as unemployment, poverty, and housing needs. With a social justice orientation, we are committed to using a community-based approach to deliver quality case management services to people in need. We believe that everyone should have equitable access to the services they need and should not be stigmatized because of one’s socio-economic status (SES), age, gender, and race.
Based on these beliefs, our services address the issue of local poverty, support low to modest-income families, and strive to improve social conditions. Working with individuals, families, and communities, our community and social services follow core social work values and principles (CASW, 2005).
