How we help

Referrals to Community Partners

The staff at Southeast Kansas Services takes a team approach with other organizations in the area to ensure that the needs of our community are met. We often collaborate with other agencies, including Wesley House, Kansas Department of Children & Families, the Salvation Army, SEK-CAP, Smart Start, and local churches.

Case Management

Our services include case management to help individuals and families identify root problems that led them to their situation of need, addressing daily needs and providing referrals to community resources. The case manager also works with clients to set short- and long-term goals, working with them over time to accomplish those goals and establish life choices that make their goals possible.

Eligibility

There are no income guidelines for assistance; eligibility is based on these three criteria:

  • The assistance will prevent homelessness (keep a person in their home for 30 days)
  • The client submits all requested verifications
  • When we create a budget we can identify where the money has gone and that it is spent appropriately (i.e. on bills, etc.)
