FAQ's

1.  What services are provided by SSTA?

Participants in the SSTA program may receive the following services:

Information and Referral – this service is provided when an adult’s needs can best be met by another agency.

Crisis Intervention – this 60-day service may be provided to assist an eligible adult with a crisis or change in his/her life. The service includes intensive help and guidance.

Case Management – this service is the basic way the SSTA program helps eligible adults to continue to live full and maximally independent lives in the community, or to secure institutional care when appropriate.
