First 5 Placer Commission Awards $100,000 to Community House Project in Kings Beach
The First 5 Placer Commission is pleased to announce that $100,000 in Proposition 10 Tobacco Tax funding will be provided to the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation in support of the Community House Project in Kings Beach.
Located within walking distance to schools, in the heart of Kings Beach, the Community House will provide a long term home to safety-net non-profits, insuring that families with young children have easy access to the supports they need right in their own neighborhood.
Community House will be an integrated service delivery model, allowing families simplified access to multi-agency support. Beyond offering the convenience of a "one stop shop" Community House will provide simplified intakes and multi-agency case management to eliminate the hours families spend currently, re-telling their stories as they travel from agency to agency.
