One of Wichita’s most impoverished neighborhoods is now receiving additional social services, thanks to a collaborative effort between the City of Wichita and the State of Kansas. The Colvin Neighborhood City Hall, located at 2820 S. Roosevelt in the Planeview area, now has a full-time Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) case manager, Frances Negron-George.
“We were very pleased to have been selected by SRS as a location for this valuable service,” said District 3 Council Member Jim Skelton. “Planeview is home to some of our poorest residents and doesn’t offer a lot of services in the immediate area. This partnership between City and State is designed to make a positive difference in the neighborhood.”
Negron-George has worked for SRS for four years. She has experience as a benefits administrator and as a bilingual family educator. She has a degree in Public Administration Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico. Negron-George is available at the Colvin Center from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
“I am very pleased to be a part of the Planeview community and Colvin team,” said Negron-George. “Due to the language barriers and transportation issues that the citizens here experience, I feel like I’m in just the right spot.”
The Colvin Neighborhood City Hall was selected among several possible sites to house the case manager. SRS officials considered several factors in making their site selection, including economic need, cultural needs, availability of public transportation and other available resources.
