In this episode, social workers from a specialized crisis team in Adult Services share how they’re helping seniors and adults with disabilities get off the streets and into affordable housing. Vulnerable adults are also accessing services that can improve their quality of life thanks to Crisis Response and Intervention Services (CRIS).
Listen as Clarissa, a 28-year-old, shares the challenges she faced while experiencing homelessness with disabilities for 10 years and how Social Services Practitioner Leah Sams broke barriers to help house Clarissa.
Sams isn’t the only CRIS team member sharing the rewards of this work in the podcast. Social Services Supervisors Renee Saldana and Marcela Javier took referrals for at-risk adults during this year’s Point-in-Time Count and discuss the team’s work and what drives them to help our most vulnerable year-round.
