Introducing Pride Compass: Case Management

Through Pride Compass, our West of 50 team provides free, short-term case management services to help adults ages 50 and better maintain their independence in the community.

Our team connects individuals with essential resources such as community benefits, healthcare, transportation, mental health support, and provides assistance with housing options and employment opportunities.
