Yolo County’s Community Services Action Board is seeking input on how to better address the needs of low-income individuals and families that reside in Yolo County.
According to the county’s Public Information Officer, Beth Gabor, the feedback will be used to set service priorities for the 2018-19 Community Services Block Grant funding cycle.
“Established by the federal government in 1968, the Community Services Block Grant is dedicated to assisting persons living in poverty,” she reported. “Examples of currently funded services in Yolo County include emergency food and shelter, as well as homeless prevention.”
In addition to a planned survey, Yolo County is also convening six public forums to solicit further input.
Those forums are planned for:
•4 to 5 p.m., Monday, April 3, at the Knights Landing Regional Branch Library, 42351 Third Street.
•6 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 3, at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church, Rooms 6 and 7, 640 Hawthorne Lane.
