2)Social Services: Providing a Framework to Build Upon

The CLO's Social Service Component is dedicated to working directly with the client to design a life skills plan of action. This plan offers clients the opportunity to address individual needs and to utilize their skills and talents to generate personal and community value. Rather than dictating a direction for the future, the CLO empowers the client to play an active role in shaping his or her own personal goals. Other services include:

  • Assessment of client's physical needs including housing, food, transportation, and clothing
  • Assessment in client's need for alcohol and drug treatment
  • Assessment in client's mental and behavioral health needs
  • Aid in obtaining valid identification, such as Social Security card, valid Drivers License, or Birth Certificate
  • Job counseling
  • Housing placement assistance
  • Family activities
  • Life skills classes, including budgeting and parenting
  • Tutoring
  • Literacy classes
