BACKGROUND:
In February 2001, the Board of Supervisors authorized the development and issuance of Request for Proposal
#1057 (RFP #1057) for FACT funding contracts for FY 2001-2002.
The FACT Committee developed the Request for Proposal following an extensive needs assessment process.
The service strategies and priorities for FACT funding in FY 2001/2002 emerged from the needs assessment.
Services to address those needs were solicited through RFP #1057.
Funds were made available for family support services, including, crisis intervention; case management; school
or community based support programs for pregnant and parenting teens; counseling and parenting education for
foster parents; assessment, mentoring/counseling and resource and referral programs for families where Child
Protective Services has received reports that do not currently require County intervention; multilingual,
multicultural counseling and intervention programs; centralized programs to access and provide safe-home
equipment and family emergency supplies and necessities; parent education and public information programs
focused on parenting skills and child development; and, implementation of family resource centers.
Each of the proposals in response to RFP #1057 and recommended by the FACT Committee for funding,
addresses one or more of the identified services strategies and/or priorities.
