No County General funds required. The total three-year CAPIT Grant will be approximately $974,052
($324,684 each year), the exact sum to be determined by the Office of Child Abuse Prevention pending final
resolution of the State budget. The County is allowed 5% of the total Grant(s) for administration. The
remainder of the funds will be allocated for direct service contracts to non-profit community-based agencies as
recommended by the Family and Children's Trust Committee (FACT) and approved by the Board of
Supervisors.
CHILDRF,N'S IMPACT STATEMENT
The programs funded by these grants support four of Contra Costa County's Community Outcomes: (1)
"Children Ready For and Succeeding in School", (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive
Adulthood", (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing", and (5) "Communities that are Safe, and
Provide 'a High Quality of Life for Children", by delivering a combination of prevention, educational,
therapeutic, child development, and family support services. Expected program outcomes include reduced child
abuse and neglect, reduced incidence of parent and/or child substance abuse, improved family functioning and
increased knowledge and use of appropriate other community resources.
RACKGROUNDe
The Board of Supervisors has authorized the Family and Children's Trust Committee (FACT) to make
recommendations on the use of the CAPIT funds, in combination with the Community-Based Family Resource
Funds, AB 2994 (birth certificate fees,) and contributions to the Ann Adler Family and Children's Trust Fund,
to support broadly-based services delivered by non-profit, community-based agencies to prevent and reduce
child abuse in the County and to improve overall family functioning and self-sufficiency.
On June 26, 2001, the Board approved contracts with nine (9) non-profit agencies to provide services as a result
of a competitive bid process (RFP 41057.) The funds derived from the CAPIT grants, along with other funds
noted above, will provide the majority of the money necessary to support these contracts.
