Family HOPE
Help, Organize, Prioritize, Empower
Builds partnerships with families to help them reach and maintain self-sufficiency. Participation in the program requires active participation of family members through goal setting and individualized plans for growth.
Family HOPE (Help Organize, Prioritize, Empower) is a case management program of Catholic Charities. To be enrolled in the program, families must
- Have children under 18 living in the home (family is defined as single parent, married couple with children, grandparents or other relative with court-documented custody of children in the home, etc.) and be currently employed or employed within the last three months (if not employed, head of household must be receiving Social Security Disability, workman’s comp, or unemployment) and NOT be a TANF recipient.
- Teen parents and women pregnant with their first child are also eligible for services.
Families calling for assistance may wait up to two weeks to be scheduled for an intake. At the intake, the client is responsible for providing verifications (this is explained to them when they make the call, and a written notice is also mailed to them as a reminder). At the intake, families meet with the Intake Case Manager to begin exploring solutions to the current needs. Each Tuesday, the Family HOPE staff meet to assign case managers to families. After this meeting, the case manager contacts the family to arrange a time for an office and/or home visit. The case manager then works with the family to identify goals, creating a budget, and exploring community resources.
Family HOPE is not an emergency assistance program. The program goal is to help families reach and maintain self-sufficiency through case management services. Financial assistance may be available to families enrolled in the program. Assistance is dependent on the client’s participation in the program.
Foster Care and Respite Care Program
Volunteer to be a foster parent in this vital ministry to families! This ministry is offered through Catholic Charities by volunteers who generously open their hearts and homes to infants awaiting adoptive placement, minors or adult maternity clients who are pregnant and in need of a temporary place to stay, or young children of families experiencing a short term crisis.
Car Donations
We accept running cars in good condition that we give to clients of the agency and we accept non-running cars that are sold at salvage with the proceeds coming to Catholic Charities.
