Ribbon cutting next week for City of Eureka Uplift Eureka Community Resource Center

The City of Eureka celebrates the Grand Opening of its much  anticipated Uplift Eureka Community Resource Center with a ribbon cutting scheduled for Wednesday, January 29th at 1:00 p.m. Mayor Kim Bergel, City Manager Miles Slattery and Special Projects Manager, Jeff Davis will be in attendance. 

Located in the Municipal Auditorium at 1111 E Street in Eureka, the Resource Center will be open Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Designed to accommodate low-to-moderate income individuals and families, the Center will provide visitors with access to telephones, charging stations, computers, and mail service. 

Resource Center Coordinators will assist with referrals to medical, dental, behavioral health and legal professionals. Assistance with employment and housing applications, birth certificates, driver’s licenses, Social Security cards and CalFresh will also be available.  Special programs will be held monthly. 

They include Highway to Housing, a workshop that covers strategies needed to find, apply for and secure housing, and Tools for Tenancy which will cover tips for rental success including communicating with landlords, setting up utilities and much more. Employment workshops will also take place weekly and will include tutorials on resume building, job searching, interview skills and workplace etiquette. 

The City of Eureka’s Special Projects Manager, Jeff Davis, says “Our Resource Center is not intended to duplicate existing services in Eureka. The goal is to enhance with a one-stop facility that provides access to any and all social services in Humboldt County.”
