Local News in Brief : Countywide : Anti-Poverty Agency Plans Public Forums
The Community Development Council, Orange County’s largest anti-poverty agency, on Wednesday will hold the second of four forums seeking public input for the council’s 1989 goals.
Public testimony will help develop a “local plan” to address the needs of low- and fixed-income residents throughout the county, council spokesman Jim Hamlett said.
Hamlett said the council’s $6.5-million budget for 1988 assists the county’s poor by supporting energy education and programs for weatherproofing homes, and also helps with gas and electric bills, shelter assistance and food. In addition, the agency operates a mobile health clinic.
The forum will be held at 6:30 p.m. in Anaheim’s George Washington Community Center.
Other forums will be held April 27 in the council’s headquarters in Costa Mesa, and May 25 at the Laguna Hills Senior Center. All forums begin at 6:30 p.m.
