The 477-SSP will create an individualized case plan with each adult client. The case plan will outline activities to engage participants in employment, training and related services. Each participant is required to make an active effort towards attaining self-sufficiency, and compliance with their individualized case plan. All participants will be required to attend an orientation once approved for services, and attend all mandatory events / trainings hosted by the Program (unless otherwise exempt by the caseworker).
