Dear Third District Resident,
Each year we honor Women’s History Month during March – a national celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political contributions of women. Beginning in 1978, the commemoration of the month of March served to correspond with International Women’s Day, organized to provide well-deserved recognition of the overlooked contributions of women throughout history.
This month is extra special to me, and I would like to highlight my team of eight who help me serve over 500,000 residents in the Third District. Representing the Third District is an all women staff who not only uplift, empower, and advocate for our residents, but are also innovators who find creative solutions to any challenges that may arise while navigating our diverse county system. Each of these women inspire me every day in their own unique ways. Their compassion and dedication to each resident they serve is a shining example of what each public servant should strive towards.
To put it simply, these women are smart, hardworking, and true public servants. I celebrate them, not only during this commemorative month, but every day.

Integrated Services Delivery in the Third District: The Temecula Quad
Riverside County has a new innovative approach, known as Integrated Service Delivery (ISD), which is a lifeline to residents of all ages, providing a no-wrong-door approach in navigating programs and resources. In the Third District, we have a center available to residents in need known as the Temecula Quad, where individuals can receive compassionate wraparound care.
William Kipp, a 77-year-old veteran and resident of Murrieta, contacted Riverside County’s Office on Aging call center in need of assistance and was immediately scheduled an appointment at the Temecula Quad. Kipp completed the Whole Person Health Score assessment and ISD registration process. He was then referred to other services and agreed to enroll in the short-term case management program, HelpLink Plus, for ongoing support.
Based on needs identified by the assessment, Mr. Kipp was linked to the Department of Public Social Services, Veterans Services and Community Action Partnership. He was scheduled one-on-one application assistance for health insurance and affordable housing.
"As a vet it's hard sometimes to ask for help,” said Kipp. “I came in needing assistance, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that my needs were understood, addressed, and met with earnestness. The biggest benefit is if I need other services in the future, I know exactly where to go and I trust those who are there to help".
At the Temecula Quad, visitors can receive assistance from Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Community Action Partnership, First 5, and Office on Aging along with other various county departments.
For more information, contact (951) 452-5335 or visit the Temecula Quad at 41002 County Center Drive.

Third District 2024 Woman of the Year: Raven Hilden
In honor of International Women’s History Month, each year the Board of Supervisors nominates five candidates from each respective district. It is organized to recognize and celebrate women’s social and economic accomplishments throughout our county, and to highlight women who consistently put their community first.
This year, I had the privilege of honoring Raven Hilden as the Third District’s recipient for Riverside County’s 2024 Woman of the Year Award.
Raven is an involved community member and her dedication to servant leadership has helped create programs that truly make a positive impact in the lives of others. Raven mentors, encourages, and uplifts both men and women alike. She is described as “a great resource for individuals to learn how to operate a nonprofit, become a valuable member of their community, and develop a servant’s heart”. Her passion for helping others shows in the difference she continues to make within the community. Raven’s leadership has paved the way for MilVet’s success and has built it up to the extraordinary service organization that it is today.
We are honored to call Raven Hilden the Third District’s 2024 Woman of the Year!

Code Enforcement February Report
For several years, the old Winchester Inn had fallen into disrepair. It was vacant and suffered from vandalism and was not being maintained. Code Officer Piper received numerous complaints from the public at the local community meetings. There had also been several fires inside caused by warming fires used by the homeless in the area. This created a huge safety concern. Officer Piper provided notice to all parties who had interest in the property. Eventually a warrant was obtained by the County to demolish the building. Officer Piper coordinated with a contractor to remove all asbestos, demolish the building, and remove all debris in a safe and legal manner.
Thank you, Riverside County Code Enforcement, for your effort towards keeping our residents safe!
