“What motivates me in my role as a case manager is creating safety for my clients. Often, clients come to us when they have been living in an unsafe environment for a long time. It is rewarding to see my clients become more confident and comfortable when they are no longer fighting to survive.”

“We help clients reach a point of self-efficacy that empowers them to be agents of change in their own lives. It allows the opportunity for someone who is justice-impacted to be seen as a human being as opposed to a behavior or condition. Every individual who comes into our office is seen and treated as such.”

Client

The client, who was unhoused, was assisted by trained Felton staff who successfully connected her to housing.

“What I love about volunteering is it is a really nice way for me to give back. I get to interact with folks directly, especially some of our older folks; they don’t always have the easiest access to the support and the help that they need to use a lot of their devices. It is a nice way for me to give back and a nice way to support our community here.”
