The Citrus Heights Collaborative provides a voice and an arena for information sharing among various local organizations and individuals focused on enhancing the quality of life by improving human services and social services in Citrus Heights.  The Collaborative was created by the Citurs Heights City Council in 1998 and has been active ever since.

This Collaborative is an informal network of community members representing government agencies, non-profits, religious institutions, businesses, and neighborhood groups.  Specifically, the Collaborative is comprised of the City of Citrus Heights, Citrus Heights Police Department, Child Abuse Prevention Council Placer, San Juan Unified School District, Mercy San Juan Medical Center, SMUD, Hillhouse Inc., Domestic Violence Intervention Center of Citrus Heights, Sylvan Oaks Library, Sunrise Recreation and Park District, Citrus Heights Career Center, social service providers from Sacramento County, Citrus Heights residents, religious leaders, and other non-profits that provide services within the Citrus Heights community. 

The Collaborative works to improve human services by educating each other about the programs already in existence and trying to link organizations to work together versus creating duplicative programs.  By leveraging the strengths of each other, the Collaborative has helped build relationships and knowledge which has led to partnerships being built with long term commitments.  Through education, communication and partnering the Collaborative has many roles and is active in the Citrus Heights and regional community.

The Citrus Heights Collaborative is open to anyone who is interested in helping support the expansion or betterment of human services and social services in the community.  The meetings are open to the public.  We meet on the second Friday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the City Council Chambers at the Citrus Heights Civic Center located at 6237 Fountain Square Drive.  Please see the schedule for agendas and meeting notes.
