Our Programs
Representative-Payee Program
The Representative-Payee Program was initiated in 1989 to meet the community’s need for reliable financial management and to assist in keeping people from homelessness due to difficulty with budgeting their money.
Serving over 600 individuals, the Representative-Payee Program provides bill paying and adult protective case management services to people in the community who are unable to manage their own financial affairs. Staff assists clients in developing a budget for payment of rent, utilities, cable and telephone expenses. A personal needs check is issued for groceries, household needs and other bills. Clients are primarily referred from area case management service providers, Social Services, Veterans Administration and Rescue Mission programs. The program is also ready to assist people seeking assistance on their own. The staff collaborate with other community services to ensure they are living in a safe, clean and comfortable environment.
