Typical offerings at a local assistance center include essential document replacement, property tax adjustments, housing and social services, grief counseling and initial building services consultations, among others. Representatives from community support nonprofits, state agencies and both counties are expected to be available.

The lineup of services is still being determined and will be published on Placer and Nevada counties’ websites in the coming days.
