SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION: To accept the EHSD outreach campaign for foster and adoptive parents.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: This action affects all four Children's Impact Statements.
BACKGROUND: At any given time, there are over 2,000 children in foster care in Contra Costa
County. The Children & Family Services Bureau of EHSD is committed to finding loving homes
for all children in need of foster placement. At present, there is a great need for homes that can
accommodate teens and sibling groups. There is also a shortage of African-American and
Spanish—speaking homes.
Over the summer, each Supervisor on the Board worked with CCN and EHSD to produce
personalized public service announcements that will be aired on community access television
stations in Contra Costa County. The Children & Family Services Bureau of EHSD would like to
open the outreach campaign by presenting the PSAs to the Board and thanking each member
for his/her support.
