Meet
your ROSS Coordinator |
|
Hi, my name is Norma B.
Perales and I am the ROSS Coordinator. I have been working
with the ROSS program since October 2010. I can be
particularly helpful to Public Housing residents who need to
be able to connect with various community organizations.
I have worked for and in
collaboration with various nonprofit organizations over the
years and I am a good resource for any referral assistance a
Public Housing resident may need. I enjoy meeting new people
and helping them find ways to make their life better.
I am here to help you meet
your goal of a better education; acquiring better parenting
skills or even to help you with your daily self sufficiency
needs in order to be able to “age in place”.
The ROSS program works with
local service providers and organizations that provide
Public Housing residents with information and referrals
for low-cost or no-cost assistance. |

How the
program works
A public housing
resident can be referred to the program by the Public Housing
manager during her annual recertification. The ROSS coordinator will
assist the resident participant enroll in the program and identify
their goals, and the ROSS Coordinator will then research and refer
to resources in the community to help them work towards their goals.
Do you need some
support getting started on your goals? Contact the ROSS program! We
will be happy to assist you!
How
to Get Started with the Ross Program
It’s
easy to sign up for the ROSS program
-
A resident
can be referred to the ROSS program by the apartment manager;
the Senior Center director; or by active recruiting efforts of
the ROSS coordinator. The apartment manager fills out a
referral to the ROSS program and it is taken down the hall to
the ROSS program office. After discussing the referral, the ROSS
Coordinator will call and schedule an appointment to meet with
the resident. A neighbor or a satisfied ROSS participant can
also refer you to the program, in which case you can call us and
set up an appointment to meet with us.
-
Any Public
Housing resident can call any time to schedule an appointment to
meet with a Ross Coordinator. The program is open to everyone in
the Public Housing Program and enrollment in the program is
completely voluntary.
-
Once your
appointment has been scheduled, meet with the ROSS Coordinator!
We can meet with you at our office, at your unit, or at a public
location that is convenient for you. During the first
appointment we will take 5 or 10 minutes to explain how the
program works. If you are interested in working with the ROSS
program (for free!), we will take the next 10 minutes to fill
out the program intake and then we will discuss what goals you
are interested in working on first.
That’s it! It’s
as easy as ONE TWO THREE!
Three
Great Reasons to Enroll in the ROSS Program
- It’s
FREE!
- You
identify the goals you want to work on and what needs you
currently have.
- You
get one-on-one assistance and support from a ROSS Coordinator to
find free and low-cost resources to help you achieve your goals!
