RECOMMENDATIONS:
ACCEPT the 2024 Advisory Body Annual Report for the Family and Children’s Trust (FACT) Committee, as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1, which requires that each advisory board, commission, or committee report annually to the Board of Supervisors on its activities, accomplishments, membership attendance, required training/certification (if any), and proposed work plan or objectives for the following year. The attached report fulfills this requirement for the FACT Committee.
The FACT Committee was established in 1985 by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors (BOS) to make funding recommendations to the BOS on the allocation of specific funds for the prevention/amelioration of child abuse and neglect, and the promotion of positive family functioning.
The FACT Committee reviewed and approved the report at the December 2, 2024 regularly scheduled FACT Committee meeting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the FACT Committee would not be in compliance with Resolution 2020/1.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The FACT Committee roles and responsibilities support all five community outcomes established in the Children’s Report Card: 1) “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School”; 2) “Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood”; 3) “Families that are Economically Self Sufficient”; 4) “Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing”; and 5) “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families,” by providing funding recommendations to the BOS on the allocation of designated funds to support the prevention, intervention and treatment of child abuse and neglect, and the promotion of positive family functioning in Contra Costa County.
