Coordination of this function will produce a service <br />product that is both accountable and accessible by the full scope of clients for which the HCCBG <br />funds were designated. It is our intent to meet the needs of that specialized population. The <br />Planning & Development Department will coordinate with the Department of Human Services <br />and other service providers to ensure that the population is served. All eligible clients will be <br />provided access to service. The Planning & Development Department will follow all program <br />guidelines for service provision and client treatment. Homes will be rehabilitated for eligible <br />clients. Improvements include, but are not limited to, handicap accessibility, door widenings, <br />minor roof repairs, and safety improvements. Any improvements will be made in compliance <br />with all program regulations. The Planning & Development Department will take referrals from the <br />Department of Human Services and other service providers of the target population. Outreach is <br />achieved through these programs, word of mouth, and visiting nutrition sites and other special <br />programs designed to address the target population. <br />mber 1 \n <br />F -6 Page 145 <br />
