Area Resources through Information Referral & Assistance (IR&A)

The goal of the IR&A Program is to help our clients preserve their independence. For many callers, this is the first step to making informed decisions about the programs and services that fit their needs. The IR&A Specialist gives thorough and unbiased information about community-wide resources and assists in determining the right avenues to explore.
