Case Management and Housing Counseling
Case Management
Our Second Stage of services helps women and children make the transition from temporary emergency shelter to permanent housing as well as women in the community who face barriers to accessing services. This program uses intensive, long-term case management to provide supportive services to women and children who suffer from domestic violence, substance abuse, and homelessness.
Second Stage case management services include:
- a comprehensive assessment to determine each client’s needs
- development of an individualized case management plan to meet the needs identified in the assessment
- housing and relocation
- domestic violence groups
- mental health and substance abuse treatment
- W-2 and employment
- education
- legal issues
- child welfare
- advocacy, information and referrals
Housing Counseling
As a component of our comprehensive case management services, the Milwaukee Women’s Center assists low-income individuals and families with locating safe and affordable housing. Oftentimes, these consumers are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless due to domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health and/or poverty. To be eligible for housing counseling services, individuals must already be enrolled in one of the agency’s programs.
Housing services include:
- intake and assessment
- housing resources and referrals
- housing search assistance
- landlord/tenant advocacy and information
- supportive case management services
