Just In Case – Drop-in Single Session Case Management

When: Thursdays and Fridays between 2:00-4:00pm on a first come, first served basis.

What: Just In Case is single session case management meeting for up to 30-minutes to provide you with information on community resources and referrals, as well as brief assistance with service navigation. You must be registered with Friends of Ruby. Our case workers can connect you with information related to housing, income support, ID’s, healthcare, employment, and more.
