1009-3 USING SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO SUPPORT GOALS OTHER THAN EMPLOYMENT AND SAFETY
While Supportive Services are intended help clients progress in getting, keeping or advancing in a job they may sometimes be used to meet needs which directly support a client in attaining self-sufficiency through an avenue other than employment, or when the safety of the family depends on meeting a specific need. The most common uses of Supportive Services in these cases are:
When a client is disabled and is pursuing self-sufficiency through application for SSI, Supportive Services may be used to provide for professional application and benefits counseling when needed.
When a family needs immediate assistance to flee a domestic violence situation and family, friends or a shelter is not an option for the family, Emergency Shelter or Relocation Supportive Services may be used to provide safety for the family while maintaining them in their community. Supportive Services may also be used in this capacity for moving a family to an area with employment opportunities.
