PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Pittsfield Human Services Advisory Council (HSAC) will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 7:00 p.m. at the Berkshire Regional Transit Authority (BRTA), One Columbus Avenue (the transportation center) where residents are invited to come and speak about the human services needs in Pittsfield.
According to HSAC Chairman Christopher Meehan, “We want to give the public an opportunity to meet with us directly so that they can describe what the human service needs are in Pittsfield and what agencies they turn to when needing assistance.” The HSAC will use the information to help them prepare funding recommendations for human service programs for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009.
This meeting is part of a multi-month process undertaken annually by the HSAC that culminates in recommendations being made to Mayor Ruberto and the City Council. Last year's recommendations resulted in 36 human service programs receiving a total of $450,000 from the City general fund and from the federal Community Development Block Grant Program.
The BRTA is wheelchair accessible. Anyone not able to attend the meeting may submit comments, orally or in writing, to the Pittsfield Department of Community Development, 70 Allen St., Pittsfield, MA 01201 or by phone at 413-499-9450 (teletype 413-499-9340).
