Center for Human Services’ Patterson Family Resource Center (FRC) and Workforce Development Program have moved under one roof.
On June 6, 2022, both programs that serve the Westside communities of Stanislaus County moved to 1010 W. Las Palmas Avenue, Suite E in Patterson. Their office is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
The Patterson FRC is a one-stop shop for families and individuals. It offers a variety of services, including parent education, school readiness programs, emergency assistance with food, utilities and clothes, assistance with enrollment in various aid programs, family advocacy, public computers and more.
The Workforce Development program is an employment program that helps adults receiving CalWORKS cash aid to prepare for and obtain employment. The goal is to help people become employed, transition off public assistance and build their skills, eliminating any barriers to employment. While in the program, participants also have access to services to address other needs that create barriers to employment such as substance abuse, homelessness and domestic violence.
