Public Asked to Weigh in on Government Service Gaps in the Area

The cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton have completed a draft report for the Eastern Alameda Human Services Needs Assessment, available soon for public review. 

The report, assembled by Resource Development Associates, reviews current human services, identifies gaps in services, and addresses opportunities for improving services in the Tri-Valley based upon input elicited through focus groups, human service agency staff and clients, public schools, the recent U.S. Census and others.

The report can be reviewed online on the city of Pleasanton website at www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us from December 12 to December 22, 2011. 

Public comments will be considered for incorporation into the final draft, which will be available in early 2012. Please direct all comments to Peter Neely at pneely@resourcedevelopment.com or (510) 488-4345 x113.

Among the human service needs in the Tri-Valley that are included in the document are 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.
