One of the largest providers of help to homeless people in Riverside County has come to Palm Springs.
Martha’s Village and Kitchen has begun setting up a drop-in/access center at the former Palm Springs Boxing Club, 225 S. Cielo Road, according to a statement on the city’s website.
The Indio-based organization will provide case management and help people obtain permanent housing, health, disability, Social Security, and other benefits. It will also provide computer training and assistance with filling out job applications.
Finally, Martha’s staff will monitor and evaluate all activities, including collecting and analyzing statistical records, client intake data, program participation, and demographic profiles.
The facility is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. A grand opening is expected to be held in several weeks.
