Passages Case Management Our case managers play a critical role in the success of our programs. They provide guidance, support, and encouragement for homeless families and individuals. They are a source of stability at a crucial juncture in client's lives. Our Passages Case Management program was started in 1997. This program provides a range of services to all homeless adults and families in Somerville, designed to move them from the streets and shelters into permanent housing and self-sufficiency.
