Alignment Rockford’s creation of the Connected Families Team upholds the Healthy Starts mission of serving families with children 0-5 years. The Single Point of Entry is one tactic of Healthy Starts.
Rockford Area Case Managers realized that the needs of their clients were not always being met with ease. Alignment Rockford bought a team together to find Single Point of Entries for human resources and services within the Rockford area.
Having these services in one place would allow case managers to easily refer clients to the services they needed, removing the unnecessary time spent finding a contact.
The Single Point of Entry (SPOE) organizations were put on a card that case managers can either reference or give to a client seeking for resources.
