Community Support

Search for Change takes a leading role within the community, providing services that enable people in need to live a fulfilled and empowered life. From our Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) , Community Oriented Recovery & Empowerment (CORE) to our Outreach Programs, we are at the forefront of community support when people need it most.

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)

Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) allow Medicaid beneficiaries with behavioral or mental health conditions or substance abuse disorders to receive services in their home or in their community

Community Oriented Recovery &  Empowerment Services (CORE)

Community Oriented Recovery & Empowerment (CORE) Services allow Medicaid beneficiaries with behavioral or mental health conditions or substance use disorders to receive services in their home or in their community.

Outreach Programs

Search for Change outreach programs provide intensive care management services to individuals transitioning from an inpatient state-operated hospital setting. Dedicated and professional teams consisting of a LMSW Program Manager, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Care Manager and a peer specialist work with individuals to assist them in reaching their goals.

Our outreach programs have comprehensive support plans, which identify and deliver targeted goals for individuals to be discharged into the community.  Throughout the program, we assist in the development of the skills needed for the individual to maintain independence and remain out of the hospital.

Safe Options Support Team

This innovative program, funded through the New York State Office of Mental Health, is dedicated to delivering comprehensive community care to those most in need, particularly individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness, with a primary emphasis on facilitating secure housing solutions.

“I think all of the staff that I have encountered are really effective. When a client has a problem they are right there to talk openly. I would recommend SFC to any of my friends."
