COMMUNITY SERVICES
Project BRAVO's Community Services Program uses the concept of case management, which aims to empower families by helping them become economically and socially self-sufficient. The Community Services Program focuses on utility assistance, case management, adult basic education, and patient assistance.
The Career Connections Program (formerly CARE) helps people become more self-sufficient by transitioning from a place of dependence to independence. Our Career Support Specialists (CSS) play a motivational and supportive role for individuals navigating the beginning of their career, offering Resources, Guidance, and Support. Career Connections clients receive intensive case management through a holistic process that can include financial support, career guidance, and more to reach self-sufficiency. At Project BRAVO, the Career Connections Program is a collaborative process that assesses, plans, implements, and monitors a client’s case in order for them to achieve their goals and ultimately transition out of poverty. Career Connections Specialists will evaluate each case according to the household’s needs by using the ROMA cycle.
Project BRAVO's Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) assists low-income households in meeting their immediate energy needs through utility bill assistance and energy education that encourages consumers to control energy use and costs.
Project BRAVO's Health & Wellness Program (formerly Patient Assistance Program) addresses the need for health care services for low-income individuals. We aim to help patients who lack health insurance or prescription coverage obtain the services and medications they need. We assist our clients by identifying and providing referrals or applications for low cost health clinics, pharmacy discounts, and free eye exams and eyeglasses.
