Direct social services is core to VACA, and provides counseling and case management, outreach, and referral services to help community members attain safe and stable housing, quality health care coverage and enrollments in various entitlement programs. Once these primary issues have been addressed, community members enjoy a level of stability that enables them to take the next steps.
Via culturally and linguistically appropriate social services, VACA helps refugees and immigrants access resources that are essential to survival. Building refugees’ socioeconomic stability helps them integrate into the broader community fabric.
