Written “resources” are made available to clients that provide information about social services that are offered on a local, state, and federal level. We produce informative pamphlets and flyers, maintain a bulletin board about other resources, and make them easily accessible. FSA also serves as a screening agency for some local churches. 

Any services provided that are above and beyond. Addressed primarily to those clients who have been identified as frequent users of Direct Assistance, this program intends to foster a sense of personal responsibility, “initiative”, and commitment to self-help. Participants are asked to undertake a variety of activities depending on their particular situation and demonstrate their willingness to make a positive change in their lives. It is under this program that we offer financial empowerment, employability classes, and case management. 

 The same services as in the previous three (Direct Client Assistance, Resource and Referral, Client Initiatives) except that people 55 years and older are allowed a higher maximum household income and people 65 and older can receive assistance with medical equipment, medically necessary nutritional supplements, medical alert units, and more.
