Other News |
The Pacific Center has served the East Bay and Greater Bay Area LGBTQ community since 1973– and, we will continue to do so for many years to come. We have happy news to announce! The landlord reconsidered his decision to sell the building that the Pacific Center has occupied since 1978. The buillding was taken off the market earlier this summer. In addition, our landlord has offered a two year extension on our current lease with three one-year options. The only change in the rent will be small cost of living increases built into the options. We also have the option of renting additional space in the building next door this Fall—space which will better accommodate additional peer groups and people with physical disabilities. Everyone is excited about this opportunity to better serve our community – our future is bright! It is a rare occurrence when all parties can walk away from a delicate situation like this feeling good about the outcome. Pacific Center is grateful to everyone who contributed to the effort. The situation, while stressful, did provide us the opportunity to reconnect with our stakeholders: current and former clients, peer group members, past board members and local residents - and ask them what they needed from Pacific Center. And, they told us – improved accommodations and a wider range of services wherever the services were provided. Our board of directors is actively working to secure the future operation of our agency and improve our present facility’s accommodations and access. To get involved, please contact, Antonio Salas, president of Pacific Center’s board of directors at boardpresident@pacificcenter.org. |
