BACKGROUND:
The Human Services Agency contracts with community-based organizations to operate the eight Core Service Agencies that are strategically located throughout the County to ensure countywide service coverage. The Core Service Agencies, including the Fair Oaks Community Center, provide safety net services such as emergency food and referral, information on housing resources, shelter and other homeless services, short term rental/deposit assistance, utility bill financial assistance, and transportation assistance.
