Chapter 8: Support Services • Personal assistant services for disabled people - • Crisis counseling • Recovery and mental illness counseling services • Information and referral • Access to respite services • Reading material - • Support groups • Expand service through the creation of new multiservice centers. Establish new multiservice centers available to all homeless populations in underserved parts of the county. Each new center should provide daytime shelter, be open at least 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and to the extent possible, provide the minimum package of services listed above. Establishment of these multiservice centers should be coordinated as appropriate with the establishment of the Self-Sufficiency Centers proposed to be established under the Alameda County welfare reform plan, PIC One- Stop Centers, Family Resource Centers, and other similarly configured programs that provide a variety of supports to low-income people. Ideally, these centers should be housed at the same locations and should share administration and services whenever possible. Action Steps - Complete conversion of Building 101 at Alameda Naval Air Station into a _ comprehensive multiservice center, in accordance with the homeless plan for that closed military base. - To the extent resources allow it and in coordination with the establishment of - Welfare Reform Self-Sufficiency Centers, establish 4 additional multiservice centers available to all homeless populations according to the priorities listed. • Mid County -Full Service Center - • South County -Full Service Center • East County -Small/part-time Center • North County -Weekend Center - Increase links between services situated near each other so that they become de facto multiservice centers. Consider siting any new services near such service clusters to facilitate homeless access. Where services are clustered in one area, consider establishing a daytime respite space with ties to the services in the area. Alameda County-Wide Homeless Continuum of Care Plan: April 1997 _ 104
