Human
Services Agency Implements CalWIN
Along with 18
other California counties, the County of San Mateo Human Services
Agency is implementing a new computer system called CalWin (CalWorks
Information Network). Scheduled to launch on October 3, CalWIN is
designed to capture more accurate case information to better serve
Human Services Agency clients. Program rules and regulations will
not change. So far, seven other counties have launched this new
system.
During this transition period, there may be temporary inconveniences for clients, such as a longer waiting period for appointments as case information is entered into the new system. There may be brief delays in benefits issuance. In addition, community partners may experience an increase in requests and/or referrals for immediate services, including food. For more information contact Carolyn Rogers, CalWIN Project Manager, at 650-802-7926.
County Names Former East Palo Alto Councilman to Head
Department of Housing
Duane Bay, Jr., a former
East Palo Alto Councilman and software executive, has been selected
to lead San Mateo County’s new Department of Housing, effective
August 22.
Bay served two terms on the East Palo Alto City Council. He built two computer software start-up companies and spent two years as Executive Director of the Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County, a nonprofit whose mission is to make sure that everyone who works or lives in the County can afford a home here. In taking the Director’s job, Bay resigned from his position as Director of Business and Program Development for First Home, Inc., which administers first-time homebuyer programs for large public and private employers.
Housing
issues used to come under the Human Services Agency, but the Board
of Supervisors recently created a separate housing department
because of the dire need to provide affordable places for people to
live. For more information on the Department of Housing, visit their

VRS
and Goodwill Industries Launch “ReCompute”
VRS
and Goodwill Industries partnered to launch “ReCompute,” San Mateo
County ’s first free electronics recycling and refurbishing program.
Residents and businesses can drop off computers and televisions,
working or not, at any Goodwill donation center in San Mateo, San
Francisco or Marin counties. The used electronics are taken to a
refurbishing hub located at the San Mateo County Human Services
Agency Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS) facility where VRS
clients, utilizing vocational job training, are employed to
refurbish the recycled electronics. This partnership offers people
with employment barriers and disabilities an opportunity to learn
marketable skills while promoting electronics recycling.
Electronic waste is a growing problem in California. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, about 70 percent of the heavy metals found in landfills come from discarded electronic equipment. It is estimated that more than 10,000 computers and televisions become obsolete every day statewide, and less than 15 percent of these are recycled. Since 2002, electronics have been collected for recycling by other recycling facilities in San Mateo County at a cost of approximately $20 per monitor. Taking advantage of the recent electronics recycling reimbursement legislation, ReCompute will collect electronics for free and refurbish items for reuse.
For more information on VRS, visit www.smchsavrs.org. For information on Goodwill Industries or to find out where you can drop off a computer, visit www.goodwill.org.
