Assessment and Planning

This component of Adult Services, staffed by two Planning Coordinators, is designed to offer short-term intervention to individuals who are in need of temporary assistance. Assessment and Planning staff time is limited and will normally not exceed three or four months. Exceptions to this time frame can be made, but if it appears that long term assistance is required a recommendation will be made to Dane County Adult Community Services.

Areas of assistance are specific to each person's needs at the time of referral. They include but are not limited to:

• Assisting people during transitional periods in their lives Coordinating services and referrals Completing assessments and applying for available funding
• Exploring subsidized, affordable housing options
• Assisting with accessing Social Security benefits
• Making recommendations regarding long term support
• Working closely with individuals and their service providers to ensure a holistic approach to support
