Visionary’s Community Advocacy Services helps facilitate and bridge much needed help both locally and globally to any population that might not otherwise have access to outreach services and programs. Our goal is to offer services, guidance and tailored assistance with the numerous outreach programs that are here for those in the community and globally to benefit from that are considered “at-risk or under-served” and who can be easily exploited. Many of these services consist of Home and Shelter Issues; Veteran’s Medical Disabilities; Social Security and Disability Assistance; Social Welfare Assistance; Child Support and Child Care Assistance; Elder Care Abuse and Assistance and some assistance with Minor Criminal Offenses (such as clearing up of older tickets). Many are unable to help themselves. Visionary is here for them.
