The Family Case Management program partners with two other Northern Kentucky agencies in comprehensive, interdisciplinary, holistic services for homeless families and women.  The goals are to secure sufficient income, foster self-determination and stability, and assist in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing for those who have struggled to sustain these basic needs due to mental illness, domestic violence, and/or chemical dependency issues.  Many of those served (76%) deal with two or more life altering disabilities or obstacles that affect their ability to maintain work and housing.
