General Info
Home Counselors Inc. has been providing case management services to families since 1999 and is now offering individualized Children’s Targeted Case Management to youth ages 0-20.

No person is denied access to services on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. In the event we are unable to meet a special need of a child, an appropriate referral will be made.
