Staff will be mobile to provide services at locations most <br />accessible for the people served. Staff will also develop referral systems with SLPD and <br />ACFD so that survivors can access services quickly and efficiently, 24/7/365. <br />Survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in the City of San Leandro will benefit <br />from having dedicated staff available to support them.
