Case Management

The mission of the WACOG Human Services Department is to be a catalyst for self determination and active participation in the greater community for people in crisis by providing caring social services to community members that require a helping hand up.

This is achieved through the departments Case Management Program that promotes the economic self-sufficiency of low-income people throughout La Paz, Mohave and Yuma Counties.

WACOG staff holistically case manages participating families to determine the most efficient and effective way to obtain the appropriate housing, economic, and/or lifestyle goals as jointly established by the Case Managers and the household. With the assistance of WACOG, the family now has the ability to financially and emotionally stabilize themselves out of a crisis situation. Working together, the family and WACOG work to achieve a collaboration of all available and needed services within the area that the family resides.

Many of the families that participate in this program are working poor parents, elderly, and/or disabled families that are struggling to meet the most basic of needs. For example, an unexpected medical bill jeopardizes the families ability to pay for food, shelter, and/or utilities. With a helping hand up, the family can re-stabilize and move forward with their lives with no further assistance.
