The purpose of PIRC services is to provide easily accessible and culturally relevant services to street group members. Those accessing services should receive an initial assessment, tailored service plan, ongoing case management, mentoring and ongoing assistance to enter into educational opportunities, employment opportunities, substance abuse treatment, housing, transportation, support groups, lifeskills, and anything else necessary to move successfully from a street group lifestyle to an employment oriented lifestyle. Due to the importance of employment among the services required by clients, a special emphasis must be placed on job development and retention.
