Contra Costa County Service Integration
Program
What is Service Integration?
Contra Costa County’s Service Integration Teams (SITeams)
bring together workers with a wide range of different specialties
on a daily basis to provide the best possible services to the communities
of Bay Point, North Richmond and “Old Town” San Pablo.
For over six years, SITeam staff from the County Departments of
Employment & Human Services, Health Services, Probation, community-based
organizations, and, in Bay Point, a school district, have been working
at putting together their knowledge and skills to serve families
as a team. Located at Family Service Centers in Bay Point and North
Richmond, the SITeams strive to:
Increase the economic self-sufficiency of families
Improve family functioning
Expand community capacity to support children and families
Each SITeam also includes a neighborhood employment project, Bay
Point Works (BPW) and the North Richmond Employment Collaborative
(NREC), staffed completely by neighborhood residents. These two
projects offer a wide range of employment-focused services including,
the job fairs, the Bay Point Community Career Center, a youth media
training academy, summer programs for young teens, family day care
start up support, and more
