BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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.

The seats will not be filled and the work of the Committee may be jeopardized.
