VICE CHAIRMAN MACHT -REPORT ON CRISIS LINE 211 <br />SYSTEM <br />Vice Chairman Macht reported that he had attended the 2-1-1 Crisis Line Conference <br />at Indian River Community College at the director of Chairman Tippin. He advised that it <br />is an undertaking in its infancy and will cover a 4 -county area. Although it is described as <br />a "crisis line" they will have many kinds of information and referrals on where people can <br />get help for all sorts of things. They have some funding from the telephone company and <br />also the Children's Services Council of Martin County has furnished two full time <br />employees. He understood that United Way had also agreed to provide one full time person <br />in Indian River County. They intend to develop an asset mapping system for the 4 -county <br />area that will basically provide a data system showing all the assets available for relief of <br />various conditions, along with an unmet needs provision. It is very preliminary and where <br />future funding will come from is not yet fully developed at this time. Subsequent meetings <br />will be held which Vice Chairman Macht volunteered to attend. He will also give the <br />Commissioners whatever information is available. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if they were hinting at any kind of funding, and Vice <br />Chairman Macht responded that funding was nebulous. They are pursing and concentrating <br />on local and federal grants now, but they also mentioned "general fund" and an assessment <br />similar to that used for 9-1-1. <br />July 28, 1998 <br />BOOK OPAGE <br />
