We provide IDs and birth certificate replacement services which are vital for housing, work, benefits, etc. Clients must be enrolled in a Catholic Charities program. Bring any identification or substantiating documents to your appointment. Appointments can be made by calling 719-866-6284
Emergency & temporary shelter referrals, transitional housing, and long-term housing referrals are made to local partners.
Case management is the method we use to support healing and change. The case management process involves:
- Active listening, hearing strengths and motivations
- Assessment of areas of need, strengths, and readiness for change
- Client-led goal-setting
- Identifying internal and external resources needed
- Follow up with client on their utilization of resources and progress toward goals
Important to our practice working with people toward change are key principles of trauma-informed care, whole-person care, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based case management.
