Disaster Case Management:

First Combined Agencies Meeting

Plumas Rural Services (PRS) and Northern Valley Catholic Social Service (NVCSS) are the two agencies providing FEMA-funded Disaster Case Management services for the Dixie Fire. The agencies held their first combined meeting as a full Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP) on Thursday, September 22, 2022, at the Plumas Bank building in Greenville.

The DCMP agencies met with Tyler Pew and Lindsey Buis-Kelley to discuss the rebuild process, helping survivors move through the process, and discussing questions and concerns. In the afternoon, DCMP staff were trained on the Simple Unmet Needs process which will help survivors enrolled in case management services to access recovery funding for needs under $10,000.

Disaster Case Management services are designed to be used by any Dixie Fire survivor. It is not a social service program, but rather a program for support and advocacy as well as connection to resources.

For more information about DCMP services, call 833-775-3267.

Sierra Institute - First CLT Houses

The first Cross-laminated timber (CLT) houses started going up in Greenville recently. Modular plumbing cores (prefabricated kitchen and bathroom) were delivered and installed. If you've driven past Ayoob Alley recently, that's what those giant boxes sitting on the foundation were. CLT construction on a third house is expected to break ground in the coming week.

For more information on the CLT house project, contact Payton Narancic - Mass Timber Project Coordinator at the Sierra Institute for Community and Environment: 530-284-1022 x 1012 or pnarancic@sierrainstitute.us.
