Day Worker Center in Mountain View closer to finding a home.

In Los Altos and Mountain View, CA, thirty stakeholders were brought together to work collaboratively to find a new location for the Day Worker Center.

The six month California Solutions pilot project convened by Los Altos Mayor Ron Packard focused on the need for a more permanent home for the Day Worker Center of Mountain View which connects workers with employers. While the process has not firmly identified a new location, there is consensus among group members that they are on the right track. New team members with particular expertise have been recruited.

"The end result is yet to be seen but getting this group together was a feat unto itself." Captain Tom Connelly, City of Los Altos Police.
