Contra Costa County has established a successful Family Justice Center (FJC) which is
partially funded by Community Defined Solutions (CDS). The governance structure for the
FJC is a neutral fiscal sponsor. Fiscal sponsorship will provide the greatest long term
sustainability and sound structure for a multiple agency endeavor such as the Family Justice
Center. The Tides Center (www.tides.org) has been selected as the neutral third party fiscal
sponsor.
Contra Costa County is contracting with Tides, as County’s fiscal sponsor for the FJC
portion of the CDS grant. Contra Costa County will remain the steward of these funds,
overseeing and reimbursing Tides for expenses they incur consistent with this budget.
The FJC is a multi-service center co-locating multiple agencies serving victims of domestic
violence, sexual assault, child and elder abuse and, human trafficking.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Employment and Human Services will be unable to contract for these important services.
