Supportive Services


For clients that face unmet needs that interfere with their ability to get and keep a job-such as substance abuse, mental health issues or a lack of shelter, food, clothing or medical care -- the Safer Foundation's Supportive Services Department works closely to establish connections to agencies that can help to meet the needs and circumstances of that client.

Safer's staff identifies appropriate agencies, makes referrals and appointments on behalf of the client and maintains on-going relationships with both the client and the agency to encourage follow-through. When these basic needs are attended to, staff encourages the client to return to the Safer Foundation for assistance in obtaining employment.
