BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 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. Terms for all Commission seats are two years. The term for these seats expires on
September 30, 2017.
