Child and Youth Care Management

RISE Housing and Support Services has partnered with Children’s Health Home of Upstate New York (CHHUNY) to provide Care Management services. We serve families who live in  Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren, and Washington counties.


Care Managers work closely with the school systems. We coordinate with community service agencies to ensure all family member’s needs are met.

We are committed to working with the family as a whole.

We believe that every family has strengths.

We consult families about their care because we believe families are the most natural and effective drivers of their care and know what they need to satisfy their needs.

Our aim is to ensure that all family members’ needs are met.  Thus, we seek to strengthen all family members’ ability to navigate the maze of systems. Doing so assists them to access appropriate services, both now and in the future.
