PLANNING REQUIREMENTS.
a.
Location
(1) General Considerations. Family Service Centers are one-stop
facilities which offer by referral or direct service a wide range of
assistance needed by Navy families. Types of referral or direct service are
determined by local needs. The following services are routinely provided:
centralized information and referral; individual, group, and family
counseling; assistance to families with special needs; and crisis
intervention.
The location of the center should be determined by the specific
program of service to be offered at each base. As part of a Navy initiative
to meet the personal and family needs of its service members, the FSC location
should be chosen to facilitate coordination with other individual and family
services. In addition, all centers must be accessible to the handicapped as
specified in the Department of Defense Construction Criteria Manual, DOD
4270.1-M Chapter 18.
(2) Detailed Considerations. As a focal point for family services,
the FSC should be in proximity to the base entrance and on a well-traveled
route within the base. If possible, it should be close to family quarters, as
well as the personnel processing center, to facilitate the use of its services
by both newly-assigned and resident personnel. Location with other support
services and other facilities is encouraged to integrate FSC activities with
other daily base operations as well as make maximum use of available
facilities.
For organizational aspects of FSC's relating to location, refer
to the Guide for Planning and Operating Navy Family Service Centers.
b. Site Development. The building must provide a welcoming and attractive
exterior that proclaims its purpose as a center for the distribution of
services. The exterior should emphasize its general family service functions
and permit confidential access by clients.
Parking considerations include the following:
