Expanded Seniors Case Management
Ongoing case management provided to former-Secure Seniors Program clients (and their landlords) to troubleshoot issues and ensure SSP clients stay securely housed. AIM keeps their cases open indefinitely and continues to provide monthly deliveries of food, supplies and other items and continues two-way communication with these clients through our Seniors Reach Program to ensure they stay housed and avoid a crisis that would again place them at risk of homelessness.
Senior Reach Program
Provides twice monthly delivery of non-perishable, fresh and frozen foods and once monthly deliveries of cleaning supplies, paper goods, personal care items and other needs using donated food and items. Delivery by staff and dedicated volunteers to very low-income AIM senior clients. Matches trained volunteers with clients who lack community and family supports and have trouble navigating systems in our community. All these clients are surviving on incomes ranging from $650 to $1,200 per month and some pay market-rate rents.
Domestic Violence Fresh Start Program
AIM provides security deposit and first month’s rent assistance to enable recent survivors of domestic violence escape situations for independent housing. We receive referrals from court victim advocates, Shelter for Help in Emergency (SHE), Social Services, etc. Deposits are returned to AIM to be recycled for another survivor to use.
Home Again Program – provided more than $57,000 worth of donated furniture and household items to residents in need in FY 2023 alone!
Provides donated items to those in dire need or starting over; run by dedicated staff and volunteers. This program is limited to selected AIM clients and through formal referrals by social workers and caseworkers from other area safety net agencies. AIM is a state-certified sanitizer, which allows us to immediately take in donated excellent and good condition furniture and mattresses, sanitize them, then provide them to those in dire need as requested/needed.
