			===client view===
			From the viewpoint of individuals needing services, an LME acts as a sort of "front door" for obtaining those services. The LME does not provide the services, but offers the client a choice of [[social service provider\|provider]]s for the services s/he may need and assists with any difficulties the client may be having in obtaining services from the provider(s) chosen.

New page

==Overview==
[[category:terminology]]A [[local management entity]] (LME) is, according to the Wake County Human Services web site [http://www.wakegov.com/humanservices/lme/default.htm], "is a county program or public authority that is responsible for the management of public policy for the citizens the system is intended to support and serve." Another (possibly less vague) explanation is that an LME acts as a sort of "front door" for individuals (clients) in need of services; the LME does not provide the services, but helps guide the client to [[social service provider|provider]]s of the services s/he may need and assists with any difficulties the client may be having in obtaining services from the provider(s).
