Give Up. Assets Inc.'s Commitment to Community Life
for People Seen as "Difficult to Serve".
This article describes how Assets Inc. in
Anchorage, Alaska, has developed its capacity to
support people other human services place in the
"too hard basket": "The foundation of Assets'
approach is a positive long-term relationship
between the person and Assets' staff which allows
the person to make the most possible use of the
opportunities in their community. This relationship
focuses on discovering and rediscovering each
person's hopes and dreams and assisting each person
to pursue those hopes and dreams in the context of
a secure home and access to opportunities for
employment and community participation."
