FAMILY & HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
Meeting Date:September 25, 2023
Subject:Appointments to the Family and Children’s Trust Committee (FACT)
Submitted For:Family and Human Services Committee
Department:Employment and Human Services Department
Referral No:N/A
Referral Name:Appointments to Advisory Bodies
Presenter:Laura Malone, FACT Staff
Contact:Laura Malone, 925-608-4943
Referral History:
On January 7, 2020 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 adopting policy governing
appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included
in this resolution was the requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of
Supervisors committee.
The Family and Children’s Trust Committee (FACT), was established in 1982 by the Contra Costa County
Board of Supervisors to make funding recommendations on the allocation of a variety of funds for prevention
and intervention services to reduce child abuse and neglect, provide supportive services to families and
children, and promote a more coordinated, seamless system of services for families. 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 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 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.
At Large and non-District appointed seat vacancies on the FACT have been assigned for Family and Human
Services Committee review since 2003.
Referral Update:
1. The purpose of this committee is to establish priorities and make funding recommendations to the Board of
Supervisors on the allocation of specific funds for the prevention/amelioration of child abuse and neglect, and
the promotion of positive family functioning. These funds include: Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention, and
Treatment funds (CAPIT) funds, (AB 1733), Birth Certificate revenue to the County Children’s Trust
(AB2994), the Ann Adler Children’s Trust funds, Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention funds (CBCAP)
and other funds as may be subsequently directed by the Board of Supervisors.
2. The FACT Committee, in conjunction with the County Administrator’s Office, performs extensive efforts to
fill its vacant seats. The recent recruitment efforts resulted in the receipt of six (6) applications, of which five
(5) were received in the last 90 days. The recruitment efforts include releasing public notices on the
Employment and Human Services (EHSD) social media sites, outreach to educational partners, outreach to CFS
Community Partnership distribution, outreach to each district Supervisor’s office and releasing public notice,
inviting interested parties to consider membership and soliciting the support of current members to outreach to
potential candidates for consideration for membership.
3. Since April 2022, the FACT Committee has been unable to meet due to lack of quorum, membership and
vacancies. As of current there are nine (9) of fifteen (15) seats vacant. Given the severity of the situation and
resulting impact to critical child abuse prevention funding and services, EHSD sought guidance from the
County Administrator’s Office (CAO) to pursue alternate committee recruitment and appointment options.
CAO provided direction to have the EHSD Director request recommendation of FACT Committee
appointments/reappointments based on review and recommendation by FACT Chair and FACT Co-Chair.
4. To ensure involvement from a voice in the community with the Committee appointments, each new applicant
was reviewed and vetted by the FACT Chair and FACT Co-Chair via an interview and evaluation process. The
FACT Chair and FACT Co-Chair provided interview and evaluation results with recommendation for applicant
appointments.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the reappointment of Carol Carillo to the Child Abuse Prevention
Council seat, Erin Cabezas to the Mental Health seat, Yvonne Wadleigh to the At-Large #4 seat with terms
expiring September 30, 2025 and the appointment of Ani Pereira-Sekhon to the At-Large #3 seat with a term
expiring September 30, 2025 on the Family & Children’s Trust Committee (FACT), as recommended by the
Employment and Human Services Department.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
There is no fiscal impact.

Since April 2023, the FACT Committee has been unable to meet due to lack of quorum, in
person quorum, membership and vacancies. As of current there are six (6) of fifteen (15) seats
vacant with four (4) memberships having expired as of September 30, 2023. FACT experienced
a similar situation this time last year which resulted in EHSD seeking guidance from the County
Administrator’s Office (CAO) to pursue alternate committee recruitment and appointment
options. At that time, CAO provided direction to have the EHSD Director request
recommendation of FACT Committee appointments/reappointments, rather than from the FACT
Committee itself. EHSD is pursuing similar direction given the circumstances.
To ensure involvement from a voice in the community with the Com mittee re-appointments,
each applicant was reviewed by the Interim FACT Chair via an evaluation process. The Interim
FACT Chair provided interview and evaluation results with recommendation for applicant
appointments.
MEMORANDUM
Marla Stuart, Director
39
Given the prior direction from CAO , the recommendation from the Interim FACT Chair, coupled
with the extenuating circumstances, I, Marla Stuart, EHSD Director, request recommendation
for the reappointment of the four (4) applicants to the FACT Committee, each reflected herein,
absent FACT Com mittee review and vote.
PURPOSE OF COMMITTEE _________________________________________
The purpose of this committee is to establish priorities and make funding recommendations to
the Board of Supervisors on the allocation of specific funds for the prevention/amelioration of
child abuse and neglect, and the promotion of positive family functioning. These funds include:
Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment funds (CAPIT) funds, (AB 1733), Birth
Certificate revenue to the County Children’s Trust (AB2994), the Ann Adler Children’s Trust
funds, Community -Based Child Abuse Prevention funds (CBCAP) and other funds as may be
subsequently directed by the Board of Supervisors.
SUMMARY OF RECRUITMENT EFFORTS/NOMINIEES FOR MEMBERSHIP
The FAC T Committee continues to perform extensive efforts to fill its vacant seats and has
several applicants pending review and vetting from the FACT committee. The larger challenge
in recent months is attendance and meeting in person quorum .
FACT Committee mem bership consists of the following:
• Five (5) AT-Large seats
• One (1) representative from each of the five (5) Supervisorial Districts
• Five (5) discipline/sector specific seats
As of March 2023, thirteen (13) of the fifteen (15) FACT Committee seats were filled. With the
suggested reappointments, there will be nine (9) of the fifteen (15) seats filled with five (5) new
applicants in queue for review and vetting by the Committee. EHSD is evaluating the FACT
Committee as a whole, coupled with the Families First Prevention Services Act intersection and
providing report back to FHS at the November FHS meeting.
If the seat members referenced herein are reappointed, FACT Committee seat members will
live or work in the following areas of the county:
• East (2): At-Large Seat 4, District III Seat
• Central/South (7): District II Seat; At-Large Seats 1 & 5, First 5 Commission Seat,
School Representative Seat, Child Abuse Prevention Council Seat and Mental Health
Seat
• West (0)
After review and evaluation, the FACT Committee Interim Chair recommends reappointment of
Carol Carrillo to the Discipline Specific Child Abuse Prevention Council Committee Seat, Erin
Cabezas to the Discipline Specific Mental Health Seat and Yvonne Wadleigh to At-Large Seat 4,
all with term expirations of S eptember 30, 2025.
In addition, due to County redistricting adopted in November 2021, current Interim FACT
Committee Chair, Ani Pereira-Sekhon no longer resides in District V but instead District II. The
District II FACT Committee Seat is already occupied. It was agreed with District V Staff to shift Ms.
Pereira-Sekhon to an available At Large FACT Committee Seat and open the District V FACT
Committee Seat to eligible District V residents. As a result, Staff to FACT recommends
40
reappointment of Ani Pereira-Sekhon, Interim FACT Committee Chair to At-Large Seat 3, with a
term expiration of September 30, 2025.
Each candidate has expressed a sincere interest in serving on the Committee and brings a unique
voice and perspective which is critical to the work of the FACT Committee.
With the reappointment of the seat members referenced herein, the FACT Committee will have
sufficient membership to support quorum and committed participation to support in person
meetings and conduct necessary business to support the FACT Committee deliverables and
objectives.
Based on the above information, I, Marla Stuart, Director of EHSD respectfully recommends that
the FHS Committee reappoint the applicants herein to serve as members on the FACT Committee.

In June 2021, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD), the Health Services Department's
Health, Housing and Homeless Services division (H3), and the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County
(Housing Authority) submitted a joint proposal to the Measure X Community Advisory Board (MXCAB) to
recommend Measure X funding to a new Housing Fund that would fund affordable housing and a broad list of
housing-related services. On November 16, 2021, the Board considered recommendations from MXCAB,
approved the Housing Fund proposal, and committed a $10 million allocation for Year One and $12 million on
an annual basis thereafter as supported by Measure X funding.
On September 20, 2022, DCD and H3 staff presented an update on the Measure X Housing Fund to the Board
of Supervisors, including the proposed Year 1 Program plan. The Board authorized the departments to proceed
with Request for Proposals (RFPs) for various affordable housing and homelessness prevention and crisis
response projects, consistent with the approach outlined in the presentation to the Board. Bringing the funding
recommendations to a Board Committee was included in the proposed Process for Funding Distribution.
After a five-month RFP process, on May 22, 2023, H3 and DCD presented to the Family and Human Services
Committee (FHS Committee) staff recommendations for Year One Measure X Housing Funds for housing
related services and homelessness crisis response and intervention services projects. The FHS Committee
subsequently forwarded staff’s recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, and the Board approved the
recommendations on June 13, 2023.
Referral Update:
At the May 22, 2023 FHS Committee meeting, DCD and H3 staff indicated that staff would look at the
possibility of providing multi-year funding cycles and renewal awards for agencies awarded Year One Measure
X Housing funds for housing services and homelessness crisis response and intervention services. The
subsequent months after the Board approved the recommendations of the Year One Measure X Housing funds
for housing related services and homelessness crisis response/intervention service, H3 and DCD staff met with

the awarded agencies to start developing contracts or program agreements between the County and the
respective agencies awarded MX Housing funds. In addition, staff mentioned the idea of having renewal
contracts for Year Two Measure X Housing Funds for services to gauge their opinion. In general, Year One
awarded agencies supported the idea of having two-year funding cycles and renewal contracts for years within
the respective two-year cycle.
Please see the attached memorandum for additional information.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors approval of having two-year funding cycles for housing related
services and crisis response and intervention services projects funded with Measure X Housing funds.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 23, 2023
TO: Family and Human Services Committee
Supervisor Candace Andersen, District II, Chair
Supervisor Ken Carlson, District IV, Vice-Chair
FROM: Gabriel Lemus, Assistant Deputy Director, Department of Conservation and
Development
Jamie Schecter, Homeless Services Chief, Contra Costa Health – Health,
Housing, and Homeless Services
SUBJECT: Proposed Two-Year Funding Cycles for Measure X Housing Funds–
Housing related services and crisis response and intervention services
projects
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Two-Year Funding Cycles: That the Family and Human Services Committee
recommend to the Board of Supervisors approval of having two-year funding cycles for
housing related services and crisis response and intervention services projects funded
with Measure X Housing funds.
BACKGROUND
In June 2021, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD), the Health Services
Department's Health, Housing and Homeless Services division (H3), and the Housing Authority of
Contra Costa County (Housing Authority) submitted a joint proposal to the Measure X
Community Advisory Board (MXCAB) to recommend Measure X funding to a new Housing
Fund that would fund affordable housing and a broad list of housing-related services. On
November 16, 2021, the Board considered recommendations from MXCAB, approved the
Housing Fund proposal, and committed a $10 million allocation for Year One and $12 million on
an annual basis thereafter as supported by Measure X funding.
On September 20, 2022, DCD and H3 staff presented an update on the Measure X Housing Fund
to the Board of Supervisors, including the proposed Year 1 Program plan. The Board authorized
the departments to proceed with Request for Proposals (RFPs) for various affordable housing and
homelessness prevention and crisis response projects, consistent with the approach outlined in the
presentation to the Board. Bringing the funding recommendations to a Board Committee was
included in the proposed Process for Funding Distribution.
44
After a five-month RFP process, on May 22, 2023, H3 and DCD presented to the Family and
Human Services Committee (FHS Committee) staff recommendations for Year One Measure X
Housing Funds for housing related services and homelessness crisis response and intervention
services projects. The FHS Committee subsequently forwarded staff’s recommendations to the
Board of Supervisors, and the Board approved the recommendations on June 13, 2023.
Two-Year Funding Cycle and Renewals
At the May 22, 2023 FHS Committee meeting, DCD and H3 staff indicated that staff would look
at the possibility of providing multi-year funding cycles and renewal awards for agencies awarded
Year One Measure X Housing funds for housing services and homelessness crisis response and
intervention services. The subsequent months after the Board approved the recommendations of
the Year One Measure X Housing funds for housing related services and homelessness crisis
response/intervention service, H3 and DCD staff met with the awarded agencies to start
developing contracts or program agreements between the County and the respective agencies
awarded MX Housing funds. In addition, staff mentioned the idea of having renewal contracts for
Year Two Measure X Housing Funds for services to gauge their opinion. In general, Year One
awarded agencies supported the idea of having two-year funding cycles and renewal contracts for
years within the respective two-year cycle.
The advantages of establishing a two-year funding cycle include:
• Reduces the administrative burden and cost of applicants and County staff.
• Provides a more predictable level of funding to agencies.
• Provides an increased opportunity for agencies to leverage County funds with other non-
County funds or non-Measure X Funds.
• Provides an opportunity for agencies to better plan and implement the goals and objectives of
their programs.
The primary disadvantage of moving to a two-year funding cycle is if an agency is not awarded
funds in the first year, they cannot apply for two years.
If approved, the Year Two MX Housing funds for housing related services and homelessness
crisis response/intervention services will be recommended to the service agencies that were
awarded and entered contract for Year One Measure X Housing funds. The Year Two MX
Housing Fund amount available will be approximately $12 million, a 20 percent increase from
Year One. As with the Year One funds, 75 percent (or $9 million) will be administered by DCD
and 25 percent (or $3 million) administered by H3. DCD and H3 intend to utilize 10 percent of
their respective amounts for Administration of the MX Housing Fund (approximately $900,000
and $300,000 respectively). Given that the priority of the MX Housing Fund is to develop or
preserve affordable housing, $7.1 million of DCD’s portion of the Year Two MX Housing Fund is
anticipated to go towards capital projects to develop or preserve affordable housing units in the
County.
Any extra or additional MX Housing Funds available for services for Year Two, including any
unspent or recaptured Year One MX Housing funds, could be allocated in the following manner:
passed on to the funded and contracting agencies as a COLA; be allocated to certain funded
agencies for exemplary performance; or via an RFP process for innovation/capacity building
45
activities or to address specific unmet or emerging needs in the County. In any case, H3 and DCD
staff will still present recommendations of the Year Two MX Housing funds for services,
including renewal awards, to the Family and Human Services Committee for review, and then to
be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for approval of those Year Two funds. The Year 3 cycle
would start a new Two-Year funding cycle where H3 and DCD would start a new RFP process for
Year 3 and Year 4 funds.
If the proposed two-year funding cycles and renewal process is recommended by the FHS
Committee, DCD/H3 staff will prepare the staff report, on behalf of the Committee, forwarding
the Committee’s recommendation to the Board of Supervisors to consider approval at the
November 28, 2023 meeting.

Referral No: 45
Referral Name: Aging and Adult Services - Challenges for Aged & Disabled Populations/Elder Abuse
Presenter: Carolyn Foudy, Interim Aging and Adult Services Director
Contact: Carolyn Foudy, (925) 608-4800
Referral History:
On May 23, 2000, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Services Committee an annual
report on the progress made on the issue of elder abuse in Contra Costa County. Between 2000 and 2015, the
Committee has received an annual status report from the Employment and Human Services Department.
On December 14, 2015, the Family and Human Services Committee received a report from the Employment
and Human Services Department on this referral. At the time of the report, the new Aging and Adult Services
Director was a recent hire, having only been with the department a couple of months. Since the new director
had identified various strategies to address some pending issues, such as staffing and crisis response times, and
program changes were in transition, the Family and Human Services Committee agreed to postpone the annual
report until such time as the department would be prepared to discuss a timeline addressing the program and
operational challenges discussed. An update was provided to the Family and Human Services Committee on
February 7, 2017.
The most recent status updates were provided to the Family and Human Services Committee on August 24,
2020 and November 28, 2022.
Referral Update:
Please see the attached report.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT the report from the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) on Aging and Adult
Services, including the Master Plan on Aging and directing staff to forward the report to the Board of
Supervisors for their information.

Subject: Innovative Partnerships
Submitted For: Family and Human Services Committee
Department: Employment
Referral No: 110
Referral Name: Innovative Community Services
Presenter: Marla Stuart, EHSD Director
Contact: Danielle Fokkema, (925) 655-2047
Referral History:
On January 6, 2015 the Board of Supervisors referred oversight and receipt of updates on the Employment and
Human Services Department's (EHSD) Innovative Community Partnerships to the Family and Human Services
Committee (FHS). On June 7, 2016, the Board approved expanding FHS Referral No. 110 "Innovative
Community Partnerships" to include the subject of Whole Family Services. This change was necessary to
incorporate a major EHSD initiative, which refocuses client-facing benefit eligibility to assess the status and
needs of the “whole family” while they are also determining benefit eligibility. Key to the new initiative is
working with community partners to form a network of family resource centers in current place-based centers
such as SIT (Service Integration Team) and SparkPoint sites, Family Justice Centers, First 5 centers, et al.
The passage of Measure X allowed EHSD to expand their innovative community services.
On October 24, 2022, the Family and Human Services Committee received the most recent annual report on
Innovative Community Partnerships, including Measure X funded programs.
Referral Update:
Attached is a status report and presentation on EHSD's Innovative Community Partnerships program, focusing
on their Measure X activities.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT the attached report on the Employment and Human Services Department’s Innovative Community
Partnerships.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
There is no fiscal impact; the report is informational only.
