What People Are Saying
Having all benefits listed in one place was helpful for having discussions with clients, and for my confidence that I was covering all the bases.
—Housing Navigator
—LA Family Housing
Should income or household composition change, I utilize the navigator as a way to visualize how the client's situation will change or in what ways their benefits will be affected. Clients are not aware of the tax credits their dependents are entitled to. Using the navigator is a great way to inform them of those credits and an estimate of what they may receive.
—Case Manager
—Barrio Action
For clients that were worried moving into different phases of the program (when their earned income increased), we were able to visualize how their benefits would change using the scenario planner.
—Case Manager
—Homeboy Industries
I use [The Benefit] Navigator during intake so I can provide info on how to increase income or get benefits. I also use it when a client has benefits so they know what it will look like when they start working.
—Krystal
—Family Case Manager, HOPICS
My client didn’t know he could qualify for CalFresh, seeing he was likely eligible in [The Benefit] Navigator was very exciting – we printed out his info, referred him to his Case Manager and they assisted him with applying.
—Connie
—Clinical Supervisor, Pacific Clinics
Amplifi makes the impossible simple — connecting families to the resources that change lives.
