Direct Client Assistance and Case Management
Purpose
Capital Area United Way Disaster Application process supplements funding to a non-profit or currently funded partner serving Ascension, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, St. Helena, St. James, West Baton Rouge, and West Feliciana parishes immediately following a widespread disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, flood, pandemic or act of terrorism. Requests will be considered from organizations in pressing need of funds caused by unanticipated or unbudgeted costs for which there are no other resources, or for which available resources, both in-kind and monetary, have been inadequate to meet these costs. For this phase of funding, emphasis should be placed on offering direct client assistance in order to alleviate ongoing, unmet needs through some type of case management process. Direct client assistance is considered to be services provided to those affected by disaster who have exhausted federal, state, community, or personal insurance/assistance programs, or whose needs are beyond the scope of these programs.
