015 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY FACILITIES STUDY SECTION IV <br /> Child Support Existing: Old Police Building <br /> (uses another agency's space) <br /> Recommended: Provide alternate space near Courthouse <br /> 250 sq. ft. <br /> Basis for <br /> Recommendations: <br /> This agency uses the Juvenile Court Counselor's <br /> conference room one day each week. They need to be <br /> provided with a permanent office of their own in Chapel <br /> Hill. This facility needs to be configured as a two room <br /> suite with a lockable closet for file storage. 250 <br /> square feet of space would be adequate. - <br /> M. SOUTHERN HUMAN SERVICES COMPLEX (NORTHSIDE) <br /> Social Services Existing: Northside <br /> 2,800 sq. ft. <br /> Recommended: Gain space vacated by Department on Aging <br /> approximately 500 sq. ft. <br /> Basis for <br /> Recommendations: <br /> This facility is very well located to serve the purpose <br /> of this agency. However, the square footage requirements <br /> of the department have increased. If the Department on <br /> Aging can move to alternate space, expansion for Social <br /> Services could be provided. <br /> Department on Existing: Currently occupies 2,961 sq. ft. <br /> Aging <br /> Recommended: Move administrative personnel to alternate <br /> space. <br /> Basis for <br /> Recommendations: <br /> The Arts and Crafts and Nutrition Program divisions of <br /> this agency are well-suited to this location. The <br /> Northside facility is located in the heart of the lower <br /> 4 income residential area of Chapel Hill. The Nutrition <br /> Program serves those very people and their participation <br /> in the Arts and Crafts Program is heavy. <br /> The other programs and services provided by the <br /> Department on Aging are not directed to people of <br /> specific income levels. Participation in these programs <br /> by senior citizens of all economic backgrounds would be <br /> increased if the Department on Aging were in a higher <br /> profile location. <br /> Page 28 <br />
