Description

We are contacting you to inform you of a privacy incident related to the In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. On August 27, 2014, the Comprehensive Services for Older Adults (CSOA) Division of Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) discovered that a portable data storage device (commonly referred to as a "thumb" or "flash" drive) was missing from our locked offices located at 900 Coombs Street in Napa. This discovery was made in the aftermath of the Napa earthquake on August 24, 2014, during the recovery and cleanup process; our offices were severely damaged and are not being occupied at this time.
