Building partnerships Tehama County Department of Social Services Child Protective Services, Building Community Partnerships (BCP) is continuing its plan to expand its program, which was piloted in Corning, to Red Bluff. The Brickyard Creek Apartments was selected to be a partner in this endeavor. BCP held a preliminary meeting with several of the residences to assess the needs and wants. A survey was also administered to assess needs. The Brick- yard Creek Apartments is very excited to have the commu- nity of Red Bluff to extend its hand. The goal is to help the apartments come up with solu- tions to meet their needs to help transform the area to a sup- portive community. We are looking for folks with talents and knowledge who can help with classes, education, and other supportive ideas. Our hope is to co facilitate with the apartments a successful, vibrant community. The next meeting will be at 2 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 14 at the Brickyard Creek Apartments, 1275 Walnut St., in the community room. All who wish to participate are invited and encour- aged to join the meeting with the tenants.
