Assessment and Referral

TEAM Inc. is one of 12 Community Action Agencies in Connecticut that collaborates with DSS and 211 Infoline in a coordinated statewide social service system for people in Connecticut with the goals of helping people access services. This social service system is called Human Services Infrastructure (H.S.I.).

Under H.S.I., those seeking DSS services get assistance so they can arrive at DSS informed and in many cases, with all the necessary paperwork already completed. People, who are not seeking DSS services, get information, advocacy, and referrals to the many service providers in the community

Throughout TEAM, Inc. trained responsive Case Managers are often the first source of help for families or individuals in need. In order to respond to these needs staff provides a complete and thorough Intake/Assessment/Referral service which helps determine eligibility for many programs. The Intake/Assessment is an interview to assess the family’s needs in employment, childcare, education, housing, nutrition and health. After the needs are evaluated, referrals are made to link clients to program services operated by TEAM or to other agencies in the community.
