In the Supportive Assistance Program for Individuals and Families, I have a caseload of participants that I provided case management services. Participants have to be assessed for barriers and challenges. Individualized Service Plans are created to achieve success over the barriers by setting realistic goals with realistic time limits to achieve goals. Develop a rapport with individuals to ensure a positive working relationship with program participants. SAIF is a time limit program and contracted through the Essex County Department of Welfare General Assistance Program. DAP (Data, Assessment and Planning) notes are created to document participants success and for quality assurance. Maintain and updated file on each participant. Participants received assistance with obtaining employment as a step towards achieving economic self-sufficiency.
