Financial Assistance, Case Management for Financial Matters available at Kingsley House (Resettlement and Recovery Center)

Community Based Services Network:
Upon our return post-Katrina (end of September, 2005), Kingsley
House joined forces with a group of fellow social service agencies
to pool our scarce resources and collectively determine how to
collaborate to best meet the needs of our region's residents. Our
new Community Based Services Network (CBSN) partnership with
Catholic Charities, Volunteers of America (VOA), Children's Bureau,
Family Services, Baptist Community Ministries and Greater
New Orleans Knowledge Works has joined with Governor Blanco's
Louisiana Family Recovery Corps to provide intensive case
management, counseling, financial assistance and support services
to over 3,500 highly vulnerable TANF eligible, displaced families
located in the metropolitan New Orleans area, including Orleans,
Jefferson, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. James, St. John, St. Charles,
Washington, St. Tammany, Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes. The state
has recently expanded the contract with our Community Based Services
Network to work with more than 4,000 additional families through 2007.
