The Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) Senior Services Division is seeking proposals from qualified Respondents to provide face-to-face well-being assessments that verify, assess, and address the needs of vulnerable Chicagoans, 55 years of age and older, who are reported as being at-risk, and may be experiencing decline or have a presenting situation that impedes their ability to continue to live safely in their homes. The Case Advocacy and Support for Vulnerable Older Adults program (CAS) helps at-risk older adults address an urgent situation that impedes their ability to continue to live safely in their homes. The CAS program is a transitional service between an individual or agency that reports an older adult in need of other more formal or informal supports that assist the older adult with the need. CAS program staff provide a timely response to calls of concern, assess client needs, and address the need by mobilizing community resources.
