Program areas at KHDS
Case management - child - serving children has been the cornerstone of khds since our inception. Our programming and Services have expanded and evolved to meet the community's needs over time. In 2022, we served our community's children in many critical capacities. Children's long-term service program (clts) serves children with disabilities and their families to develop service plans and purchase Services and equipment which may not be obtainable through traditional insurance. In 2023, we served 629 children in clts.
Adult emergency Services - adult crisis is a mobile unit that offers 24-hours a day, 7 days a week availability of experienced mental health professionals for face-to-face interventions and/or phone counseling in crisis situations. The majority of these cases involved persons struggling with mental health issues, such as depression, suicidal feelings, chronic mental illness, family disturbances, victims of felony crime, or drug and alcohol abuse problems.
Homeless assistance Services - the division of homeless assistance Services is designed to provide access to shelter, homeless programming, and community resources with the goal of helping people end their homelessness. To achieve that goal, we have a comprehensive response in place that ensures homelessness is prevented whenever possible, or if it can't be prevented, it is a rare, brief, and a one-time experience. Khds acts as the lead for Kenosha area coordinated entry providers to ensure our community prioritizes assistance based on vulnerability and severity of service needs. In 2023 the organization provided 519 nights of emergency motel vouchers to get 199 and 53 children into safe shelters. Our outreach team served 206 people to get them off the streets and into safe shelter.
