DISCUSSION:
The Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services’ (“DHHS”) Transition-Age Youth Program serves youth and young adults ages 16 to 26. Services include building life skills development, community involvement and independence as the participants move toward adulthood. This program also provides training to staff and community partners, who work with youth to help them more effectively engage youth and help them develop youth-informed approaches to policy and program participation. The goal of the Transition-Age Youth Program is to create an environment where young people thrive at home, school, work and in their community.
The Transition Age Youth Program has leased real property located at 1211 Fifth Street, 1215 Fifth Street and 433 M Street, Eureka since 2016. This facility is a good location and meets the Transition Age Youth Program’s operational needs. The property owner, Slack and Winzler Properties, LLC, and Humboldt County Department of Public Works- Real Property are actively working on removing any accessibility barriers in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Any and all identified accessibility barriers (Exhibit C) shall be removed by Jan. 1, 2024. The Transition Age Youth Program has a temporary accommodation service delivery policy in place until the identified accessibility barriers have been removed.
Accordingly, staff recommends that the Board approve, and authorize the Chair of the Board to execute, the attached lease agreement with Slack and Winzler Properties, LLC regarding the use of office space located at 1211 Fifth Street, 1215 Fifth Street and 433 M Street, Eureka.
