Catholic Charities Of The Archdiocese Of St Paul & Mpls

CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES: Children and Family Services programs offer an array of specialized services to children, from birth to age 17, and their families. These services focus on supporting them through emergency family shelter, early childhood care, and day mental health treatment programs. These services focus on the incredible potential that children have to grow into healthy adults and contributing members of the community.

AGING AND DISABILITY SERVICES: Services provided by this division include care management and elder homeless services to older adults and persons with disabilities in Ramsey and Hennepin Counties so that they can remain in the community and live in the least restrictive environment possible. Care management and homeless elder services are based on a multi-dimensional assessment that leads to the development of a person-centered care plan, the arrangement of needed services, monitoring of services and re-assessment. (Continued on Schedule O)The elderly were supported in their homes by the division through contracts with local health care plans and the division did in-reach into emergency shelters operated by housing programs to target case management to homeless elders.

ADVOCACY AND OTHER CLIENT PROGRAMS: Through the work of a dedicated Social Justice Advocacy division and with the support and deep expertise of direct service staff across the agency, Catholic Charities serves as a tireless voice for those who often go unheard.
