Current Narrative:
Historically, the State has always used outside entities to conduct Outreach. Through that partnership our WorkOne offices are able to reach a much broader MSFW audience than the WorkOne office staff are able to do in their normal intake activities. The strategy to co-locate offices helps drive MSFW clients into the one-stop office.
This partnership has long been a cornerstone of Indiana’s MSFW program and a key strategy to increasing our overall activities. The co-location of offices affords our SMA to provide technical assistance to outreach workers and state staff that work with MSFW clients in those offices. As the state transitions from a contract with Proteus for provision of outreach activities to state merit staff conducting outreach, the SMA will work with Proteus, the Regional Monitor Advocate, and local office staff with respect to the Outreach function (in general) as well as developing additional strategies for technical assistance, increasing awareness across core programs, Outreach worker professional development activities, coordination with NFJP partner, etc.
