This involves: 1. Modifying the 2"d floor design to accommodate a full 3rd floor along both streets(adds 6,000 sf) 2. Adding a 3rd floor of 12,021 sq.ft of office space to the design scope 3.

TANF is a program designed to provide temporary monetary assistance to families with children. Eligibility is based on household income and size.Monthly cash payments are provided to help families meet their basic needs,and economic independence is promoted through participation in the Virginia Initiative for Employment Not Welfare program.TANF and VIEW staff work closely together as they serve the same population. VIEW stands for Virginia Initiative for Employment not Welfare.The program provides TANF recipients the opportunity to take the necessary steps to obtain and maintain employment and move toward self-sufficiency.VIEW Social Workers provide a variety of services designed to help program participants address and overcome personal issues that may have affected their ability to work to support their families. BANK ON Virginia Beach is a partnership of banks,credit unions,and community organizations,with the City of Virginia Beach.This program was designed to help citizens gain access to free or low cost accounts and take steps toward financial freedom. POTENTIAL HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT USES OF NEW SPACE The PATH Homeless Outreach Team addresses any barrier for the homeless population by collaborating with community partners and maximizing available resources to the extent possible. The team reviews individual needs in staff meetings and brainstorms about possible solutions to meet those needs.Creative problem-solving is Important.PATH acts as an advocate,continually networks with other agencies and searches for new resource options. Emergency Services is a program that provides immediate telephone and in-person crisis assessment, intervention,and consultation,available 24 hours,seven days a week.Also provides screening for psychiatric hospitalization and crisis stabilization.Please note:This program would need a private entrance if possible for police to bring clients in for evaluation so these individuals would not need to be walked through the main lobby at the time of the evaluations.A private evaluation room should also be a part of space planning. PACT is an evidence-based,recovery-oriented service delivery model that provides comprehensive, locally based treatment to people with the most serious and persistent mental illnesses.The program is targeted to provide intensive wrap-around services to individuals that have not been responsive to transitional outpatient treatment and continue to struggle with acute psychiatric symptoms,elevated risk factors,repeated hospitalization,homelessness,and incarceration.Multiple services are provided to meet the complex treatment,rehabilitation and support needs of PACT clients.

Often time these are families either receiving other services from the Department,or they are families that will qualify for other services. CPS Ongoing is also a part of the Child Welfare Division responsible for monitoring families where abuse or neglect has occurred in the home,but the children remain with the family and the Department monitors progress toward goals.This service may also include support from other Divisions within the Department such as TANF and SNAP. Mayor Sessoms asked if anyone had any objections and hearing none, he advised Mr. Hansen to move forward with this concept. September 9, 2014 ADJOURNMENT Mayor William D.
