The public is encouraged to attend and participate in a discussion about the human service needs in the Tri-Valley. These include cultural competency and language barriers, access to medical care, homelessness, transportation issues, substance abuse, children’s needs and daycare, senior needs, the needs of those with disabilities, AIDS awareness, prevention and services, and more. Participants will be asked to provide feedback on what they consider to be the unmet needs in the communities, where service gaps exist, and how those gaps can be effectively closed.
A comprehensive survey of similar information elicited through focus groups, human service agency staff and clients, public schools, the recent U.S. Census and others will combine with the information gathered at the community meetings to produce the 2011 Human Services Needs Assessment document.
