Social Services at ICS
Social Services for ICS Clients
The Social Services program provides referrals to resources and case management services for ICS clients
and immigrant survivors of human trafficking in the Portland area.
We aim to provide person-centered, trauma-informed case management to support participants in meeting basic needs, connecting with community resources, and working toward their self-identified goals. We recognize the resilience and strength of our clients and seek to tap into each participant’s strengths and community connections for long-term stability and success.
Unaccompanied Children’s Services
The social services program team works closely with the Unaccompanied Children’s Team, providing consultation for legal workers, collaboration with community stakeholders, and support for unaccompanied immigrant youth.
General Program Services
Clients accessing legal services through our general program may be referred to the Social Services Program by their legal worker for case management and support in areas such as mental health, substance use recovery, domestic violence, and meeting basic needs like housing, food, or clothes.
Services for Survivors of Trafficking
ICS contracts with the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants to provide comprehensive case management for immigrant survivors of human trafficking. For this contract, ICS receives participant referrals from national hotlines, area attorneys, and law enforcement, as well as internally from ICS legal workers.
