Access to essential services and resources is becoming easier for communities across the parish, thanks to newly unveiled mobile units. The two new mobile units, some of the first of their kind in the state, will expand access to rent or utilities assistance, Head Start registration, pro bono legal services, and Employ BR assistance. Equipped with generators, wifi, and stations for caseworkers, the units also provide spaces for discussing individual needs privately. Additionally, the units will encourage neighborhood-specific donations by distributing supplies, like diapers, food, uniforms, shoes, and other items. ■ brla.gov
