program legislation, and donations to the County’s Family and Children’s Trust Fund.
Every two years, the members of the FACT Committee estThe Family and Children’s Trust
Committee (FACT), was established in 1985 by the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors to make funding recommendations on the allocation of specific funds for the
prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect and supportive services for families and
children. Funding for FACT supported projects derived from federal and state program
legislation, and donations to the County’s Family and Children’s Trust Fund.
Every two years, the members of the FACT Committee establish a series of county
priorities for the use of these funds through review of existing data and reports and by
holding Public Hearings in various areas of the county. The Committee then develops a
competitive bidding process to select non-profit, community-based agencies that can best
provide the services determined to be most important. Program recommendations are made
to the Board of Supervisors which makes the final funding decisions. The Committee
continues to evaluate these funded programs to ensure continued provision of quality service
and achievement of stated goals.
Programs currently being supported include countywide parenting classes, therapeutic day
care for emotionally disturbed children, treatment for families, young children and teens
with both substance abuse and child abuse issues, services for homeless families, and
projects to support children whose mothers have been victims of domestic violence and
sexual assault.
Members of the FACT Committee include citizens with expertise in children’s issues,
education, law, non-profit agency management, public health, and program
research/evaluation.
