Family Navigator
HCAS Family Navigator, Stacy Hurley, LCSW-C, provides support for HCAS families most in need and helps to “navigate” them to appropriate services – food, shelter, utilities, medical assistance, insurance, disability services, and more– as part of our annual Community Service Partnership (CSP) Grant through the Howard County Department of Community Resources and Services.
