LPA was immediately greeted by Patricia Terreros, Family Service Associate, who reported that the facility phone line is not connected due to ongoing construction of the office. LPA observed adult male maintenance worker conducting repairs in the office. Ms. Terreros then walked LPA over to meet with Yolanda Parbol, Teacher who provided LPA with a tour of the facility. Census was taken.
