Being a leader in referral best practices and quality control has been of particular focus to us in the last two years, and after an assessment and restructuring of these services we have created greater staff support and service consistency. Last year we served 783 individuals in 2,574 contacts in this program and already in the first six months of fiscal year 2016-17 we have served 488. In order to keep up with demand and maintain quality services we partnered with Johnson Service Corps (an Americorp program). This bilingual intern oversees the program as an Information and Referral Specialist and also assists other programs to meet client needs.
