Major Activities

Activity 2

Case management: ritter case managers connect clients to all of the services offered at ritter center and refer them to complementary area agencies that help provide a continuum of care for those in need. The case managers work one-on-one with families to explore different ways of ameliorating their immediate and long-term problems and challenges. Case managers can also provide clients with representative payee financial management, helping them budget their expenses each month to ensure that their fixed incomes are not exhausted before the end of the month. Ritter center manages their funds and sends checks to pay for all their bills including rent and utilities. The case management program also helps case manage frequent incarcerates tohelp reduce their rates of recidivism, ab109 clients and provides rapid ssi disability enrollment in conjunction with the county of marin. Case managers also distribute rental assistance to landlords on behalf of clients to prevent homelessness and rapidly re-house those that have already fallen out of stable housing.

Activity 3

Housing:ritter center collaboratively operates 12 units of transitional housing and additionally manages up to 24 former chronically homeless clients in permanent supportive housing through a housing first program model. Program participants in both transitional and permanent housing programs must pay 30% of their income towards rent. In the housing first program, the balance of the rent is covered by subsidies paid to the landlord by ritter center. Case managers help program participants with any needs that may arise and act as a liaison with the landlords. These clients can still access all the supportive services provided by ritter center to help them remain stably housed.
