DHS Referral Process

DHS Workers

Our clients have to have been in DHS care and custody for 180 days after their 14th birthday.

Before a youth can be assigned an ILP case manager, they must attend an orientation.

Orientations are given every Tuesday at 4pm, at our office, @ 5605 E. Burnside.
To refer one of your clients to our program you must:

• Fill out a Independent Living Program (ILP) Referral Form (AKA: CF 80)

• Fax that form to Child Welfare East Branch @ 971-673-2020.
  

• Make Sure Your Client Goes to an Orientation!
  

We serve youth currently living in Multnomah County regardless of where their DHS case originates from. We serve all Zip Codes EXCEPT: 97211, 97212, 97203, 97217 and 97227
If your client lives in one of the above Zip Codes, they would be served by the ILP at Impact NW

For additional information, please contact Marni Doerfler, Program Director at (503) 234-8757, Ext. 17.
