PROGRAM OBJECTIVE:
To assist welfare recipients, who have exhausted their 60-months of cash assistance in moving from dependency on cash assistance to self-sufficiency, through intensive case management.
POPULATION SERVED:
Post 60-month TANF and GA recipients of cash assistance in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem counties.
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Family Development.
SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED:
SAIF Case Managers receive referrals from county case management staff. Upon receipt of referral, clients are contacted and scheduled for a home visit. Clients are also provided with a comprehensive social assessment (CSA) and evaluation of their service needs. Upon completion of the CSA, case managers develop an individualized service plan (ISP), which addresses all of the needs identified in the evaluation, to include the individual’s functioning level, resources, skills, and supports. After development of the plan, case managers begin linking clients to appropriate supports, services, and agencies to address those barriers and needs identified within the CSA.
Clients are heavily monitored during this process, and case managers reassess, revise, and develop corrective action plans (if needed) to support the client’s progression toward self-sufficiency. In addition, case managers hold monthly case conferences with all parties invo lved in the client’s service plan, to discuss the client’s development.
