Community Resource Center Opens for Pajaro Area Residents

Dozens of community-based organizations are coming together to serve residents in the Pajaro

area who were impacted by flooding. A Community Resource Center featuring local

organizations and agencies will opened on Wednesday, April 19 at Pajaro Middle School.

The Pajaro Community Resource Center will be open this week from 3 pm to 7 pm Wednesday

through Saturday and closed Sunday. Times for next week are still being developed and will be

announced. While cleanup is continuing, recovery from this disaster is a long-term process and

residents need additional help and services that local organizations can provide.

The Center will feature staff, information and referral services by type of need. Community

organizations will rotate manning tables each day to serve residents. Services offered include:

• Mental/Physical Health

• Economic Relief

• Legal Aid/Housing

• Social/Emotional Family Support

• General Community Resources

“County, state and federal assistance has been critical to help residents get back on their feet,”

explains Krista Hanni, Planning, Evaluation and Policy Manager, County of Monterey Health

Department. “Community based organizations are part of the heart of this community - they

live and work among those affected. These groups are a trusted safety net for residents and will

help in ways government agencies cannot.”

More than two dozen Santa Cruz and Monterey County organizations are participating in the

resource center and more are joining. Some of the participating organizations are also noted in

in the Monterey County Resource Guide online at:

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public.

Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass. CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
