CY2019
Total number of contacts resulting in referrals = 101
Below is a list of agencies that fell into the "Other" referral category. These agencies are tangentially related to the direct work of the OHR but were determined by staff to be a viable option for some people seeking assistance. Note that some individuals were referred to several of these organizations following a single contact with the OHR. The data collection system does not count the individual times a person was referred to a specific agency when referrals to multiple agencies are aggregated under a single referral. Therefore, this is merely an alphabetical list of the "Other" organizations that received one or more referrals.
