More help for survivors

County launches case management services

Butte County has launched another resource for Camp Fire survivors.

Immediate Disaster Case Management (IDCM) services, a partnership with the Administration for Children and Families, will provide case managers to support and assist survivors with unmet needs related to the disaster. This includes help navigating the Small Business Administration loan and Federal Emergency Management Agency appeals processes, and development of a personal disaster recovery plan.

Case managers also will facilitate referrals for such things as health insurance, housing, financial assistance, transportation, behavioral health and legal resources.

Survivors can access IDCM at the Butte County Employment Center, 24455 Carmichael Drive in Chico, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
