Mental health services Elderly/caregiver relief services Mental health services Elderly/caregiver relief services I am not aware of any program for Elderly relief. I asked once back in 2020 a specific question about elderly services and was sent to an agency that informed me elderly have to be signed up for commodities for any additional services so I could not help the person as those are private details of their lives. Mental health services Mental health services Not enough information Mental health services There needs to be increased accessibility to Mental Health services in this area. Weather that be in-person or tele-health services. I believe we are failing our elder folks big time. We as a community should not allow the generation ahead of us suffer because of our shortcomings and ignorance. I think with OHP you should have a choice on who you go to counseling for, and it should be covered by all it should be covered by all counselors. Or psychiatrist Mental health services There are really good mental health programs here that are very accessible. Mental health services Ummm.... I haven't found anything regarding your question. I had to seek out and go to the welfare office to ask Mental health services Experience with poor folks Housing / Homeless Long-term shelters Long-term shelters Rental assistance Homeless services Long-term shelters Rental assistance Tell us why you selected what you did People need long term shelter to move forward with accessing health care. Once they are stable then they can begin working towards employment then long-term housing. Rental assistance can be helpful but is a moot point when there is no affordable housing available. Long term shelters are needed in every community, especially to assist individuals to rebuild their lives and eventually try and escape the cycle of poverty. Rental assistance because it gives people the sense of independence We've got to do better in our community and realize that not everybody who's homeless is an addict who's chosen to be homeless! We need to have more long- term shelter options available year- round! All 3 of these are needed. In working with the 2020 Census, we were unable to find any homeless shelters. Therefore, I think nothing is being done. Homeless services Rental assistance Many of the homeless should be receiving social security but cannot because they don't have an address, same problem with getting prescriptions There are cities that have built tiny houses with central showers/rest rooms and provide services to assist people to get jobs, medical needs and so forth. Rental assistance Rental assistance As a result of COVID-19 pandemic there have been opportunities for individuals to get rental assistance so that they can maintain/save their housing after losing their jobs, decreased hours, being on quarantine/sick with COVID-19, etc. Had these opportunities for rental assistance not been available many more would have lost their housing. I believe homelessness is a choice most of the time. Having an adequate amount of transitional housing is key to community success. From rooms to homebuyer programs.
