All information shared is handled with care and used solely to support you in accessing services, completing applications, and navigating available resources. Information is never shared without your consent, and only details directly related to your support needs are obtained or released.
Completing the authorization form helps ensure that the Community Navigator can communicate effectively with partner agencies, follow up on referrals, and advocate on your behalf when appropriate, while respecting your privacy at every step.
If you have questions about the authorization process or how your information is protected, the Community Navigator will be happy to explain before you sign.
