Action Forum: One Stop Shop
Monday, November 16, 2009

At the Action Forum, the Hilltop One-Stop-Shop action team was created.  The goal is to create a one-stop-shop service and community center.  At the brief meeting on November 16th, the following was determined.
  • Present partners included Mercy Behavioral Health and the Beltzhoover Health Center.
  • There are 42 congregations on the Hilltop that can provide services as well as a variety of non-profits.  It is important to determine what services are currently provided.
  • The Birmingham Foundation has a list of Hilltop providers.
  • The Action Team is working on a project that is not theoretical.  If completed it will be a physical end result that will be beneficial to all of the neighborhoods on the Hilltop.
  • Location is important and needs to be accessible.  The entire group must agree on the location.
  • Vacant schools are not a feasible idea for location because of a variety of expensive problems.
  • Other location ideas include the Warrington Recreation Center and the former Iron and Glass Bank Building at Bausman and Brownsville.
