Following are the implementation and operating plans for these programs.

Advisory boards will have a minimum of five members and will meet at least monthly at the respective sites. The Advisory Board will also be a conduit to the residents. Information about services, job opportunities and other activities will be provided to the advisory board for dissemination in the community. Qualified residents will be the primary target for employment and volunteer opportunities associated with these programs as well as other department programs. A list of these job and volunteer opportunities will be posted at the respective sites. Postings will be updated routinely as new opportunities arise. Additionally, door-to-door canvassing will be regularly conducted at both sites to inform residents about programs, employment and volunteerism.
