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.
The FACT Committee has up to fifteen members who are appointed by the Board and include citizens with expertise
in children’s issues, education, law, non-profit agency management, public health, and program research/evaluation.
In addition, the Director of the Child Abuse Prevention Council sits as ex-officio member of the Committee and
participates in all matters except actually voting on funding recommendations.
Supervisor Glover is pleased with the excellent work Ms. Coleman-Clark has done serving on the committee and
would like to appoint her to another term.

The seat will remain vacant.
