Community Services
Westchester Arc’s community services help individuals with developmental
disabilities to meet some of their daily challenges.
We help by providing crisis intervention, individualized support services, minority outreach and Medicaid and non-Medicaid service coordination.
Crisis Intervention
Crisis intervention provides a seven-day, 24-hour hotline staffed
by a crisis team that can assist callers by stabilizing a crisis
and making appropriate referrals
to community services, including housing and medical resources.

Individualized Support
Individualized support services help adults to live independently
in the community. Intensive supports include service coordination,
training in
life skills and
creating monthly financial budgets in order to maintain independent lifestyles.
Family Outreach
The family outreach project conducts outreach into minority communities
to identify those who may be underserved or unserved. The project is
staffed with bilingual
and bicultural personnel.

Service Coordination
Medicaid service coordination assists individuals
and their families, who are Medicaid-eligible,
to coordinate
a
broad range of services. These include access to governmental benefits
and advocacy
for services including medical evaluations and appointments, vocational
training and career opportunities, educational services, recreational
resources and
housing.
