Community Resources
The city does provide important services like water, sewer and trash pickup, but understands that it takes many other resources to make a community whole. We wanted to showcase some partners and organizations we work with that can help our residents find things like financial and health service assistance.
2-1-1 is a toll-free telephone number which connects callers with trained referral specialists in the area. Callers can find out where to go for community services such as counseling, emergency shelters, parenting classes, and legal aid. The rental and utility billing assistance program offered because of COVID is available via referrals through this service.
