A lack of communication that nearly led to the Del Norte Senior Center having to find another locale for its mobile showers program has been resolved, Executive Director Charlaine Mazzei said.

The senior center has offered showers, clothing and hygiene kits in the parking lot at the Del Norte Wellness Center on Tuesdays since July 2021. It currently partners with Del Norte Mission Possible, which provides access to case management, meals and other services, as well as Open Door Community Health Center’s mobile medical bus where clients can see a primary care physician.

But on Monday, Mazzei said she received a notice to vacate from the building’s owner, the Del Norte Healthcare District. By Thursday, Mazzei met with DNHCD Board Chair Tonya Pearcey and Director Dr. Kevin Caldwell and the special district withdrew its notice.
