HOW TO REFER A CLIENT +

In order to refer clients to select furniture, your organization must be a Member Agency (see list above). To become a Member Agency, please go to How To Become a Member Agency (above).

In order to make an appointment for a Member Agency client, Case Managers should first read our Client Referral Guidelines carefully.  We want to ensure that all referring Case Managers and their clients understand the CURRENT referral process, selection process and delivery process.

Appointments can only be made after you or someone at your agency has conducted a home visit to verify the need for furniture. After verifying client’s specific furniture needs, complete the Client Referral Form on behalf of or in consultation with your client, including obtaining the photos requested in the Guidelines. After you have completed the Client Referral Form and obtained the required photos, follow the instructions in the Client Referral Guidelines to schedule an appointment.  If you have any questions, please email office@furnitureshare.org
