The Fresno County Hispanic Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Services, Inc. (formerly Fresno County Commission on Alcoholism
for the Spanish speaking, 1977 through 1986) is a 501 © (3)
nonprofit corporation governed by a nine (9) member Board of Directors.
Administrative Offices are located at 1803 Broadway Street, Fresno,
CA 93721.
The
Hispanic Commission is a one million dollar operation with the
largest DUI program in Fresno County providing
services in urban and rural areas, as well as an adult (18yr.+)
Men's Spanish Speaking 90-day Residential
facility "Nuestra Casa Recovery Home." Both programs
are licensed and certified by the State of California Department
of Alcohol and Drug Programs in Sacramento to provide Alcohol
and Drug Counseling services.
The Commission was originally founded to provide information and
referral services to the Spanish speaking population in Fresno
County. Thus, in our growth and development, we have made our
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling services available to all English
and Spanish speaking inividuals and their families.
The
history of the Commission began in the summer of 1977 wherein
a group of concerned community members realized that there were
no local services for Spanish speaking people suffering from alcoholism.
A proposal was submitted to the Fresno Employment and Training
Project Title VI, to establish an alcoholism drop-in center in
the Fresno area. The contract was awarded and the Commission began
to provide alcoholism information and referral services to the
bilingual/bicultural and especially the Spanish speaking person
seeking assistance.
