The Board of Supervisors approved the African American Holistic Resource and Wellness Hub Feasibility Study and appointed a steering committee to lead the process of designing and procuring a contractor. This study will guide the development of Contra Costa County’s first African American Holistic Resource and Wellness Hub.
This in-person listening session is a critical opportunity to assess the community’s needs, identify gaps, and define desired services. Your feedback will directly inform the final recommended plan, which will be presented to the Board of Supervisors this spring.
