The moniker Peoria SUPPORT (Services Uniting to Provide People with Opportunities, Resources and Training) was developed  to represent the core purpose of human service functions within the Community Assistance Division.

 

The popular Awareness Series began in 2014 as quarterly offerings and, due to its popularity, has expanded to monthly offerings.  All seminars are offered to the public at no cost and are held at varying locations throughout the City including Sunrise Mountain Library, Rio Vista Recreation Center and here at City Hall.  Instructors are experts in their fields and provide their time to the City pro-bono.
