Strengthening these connections is our mission.

SENIOR CITIZENS AND SOCIAL WORKER The Home Outreach Program for Elders (HOPE) remains a critical priority for Hartley House and a critical source of support for low-income and vulnerable seniors residing Hell's Kitchen. HOPE provides wrap-around case management, Formal Money Management services, benefit assistance and support. HOPE continues to increase its programmatic effectiveness and capacity.

Our current caseload is comprised of 64 clients. 10 are currently enrolled in our Formal Money Management program, and an average of 50 more each month are assisted with informal money management like budgeting and bill pay assistance. HOPE completed 59 intakes and 6 new client cases were opened. 39 individuals received I&R services, and 19 who were not appropriate to become clients have received and/or are continuing to receive informal assistance including budgeting, information on financial assistance, assistance in applying for benefits (SNAP, Access-A-Ride, SCRIE, MSP, Lifeline), assistance in completing the referral forms to submit to Volunteers of Legal Services to assist with advanced directives, and housing applications. In addition, 24 clients received monthly stipendiary assistance. HOPE secured $31,885 in monthly benefits in calendar year 2018, and $21,000 in one-time emergency assistance. HOPE created a new program, Homebound Elders Assistance, Recreation, and Transportation Services (HEARTS) to take on these tasks, allowing HOPE staff to focus on formal assistance like benefits applications and maintenance, Formal Money Management, service referrals, and financial assistance acquisition. HOPEs HEARTS staff work part-time to complement HOPEs case management and social work staff, expanding the capacity of HOPEs formal assistance initiatives.
