Goal
INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND UTILIZATION OF AVAJCLA13LE
HUMAN NEEDS SERVICES.
Heighten visibility ot Hotline-Crisis Intornlation and
Referral.
A multitude of human needs services are available in the
communi ty. Often, however, people's needs g'o unmet
because they either are not aware of the availability of
help or do not know how to connect with it.
The City of Salina should implement a program designed to
increase the awareness and availability of human needs
services in the Salina area. This information should be
updated and expanded constantly. The program should use the
present Hotline and should supplement it with satellite
information referral points located throughout the
community. These would provide easier access to the
information. The program should publicize the existence of
this information channel through the establishment of easily
remembered telephone numbers (for example, 825-INFO or
825-HELP), public service announcements, columns in The
Salina Journal and the Buyers' Guide and brochures and fact
sheets.
This goal could be implemented immediately, because of the
willingness of the Hotline. It is estimated that it would
take 60 to 90 days to locate and supply satellite
locations and to contact radio stations and other media.
Estimated Cost:
The funding for this project can be obtained through
public and private funds, the assistance of in-place
service agencies, in-kind gifts or donations
and the cooperation of local human service agencies.
Start-up cost for 1987: $3,000.
