No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On January 6, 2015, the Board approved referring oversight to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) on the Family Justice Centers and Commercially Sexually Exploited Children initiatives. This became FHS Referral No. 111.
On June 8, 2015, November 14, 2016, February 20, 2018, February 25, 2019, July 27, 2020, June 28, 2021, and June 27, 2022 FHS received and approved annual reports from the Employment and Human Services Department on the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative, Human Trafficking, Commercially Sexually Exploited Children, and the Family Justice Centers.
Per the recommendation of the Family and Human Services Committee at its June 26, 2023, meeting, Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) will provide the 2023 Anti-Human Trafficking Update. The attached presentation will provide the Board of Supervisors with an overview of human trafficking, as well as highlight EHSD’s efforts in addressing human trafficking through funded and non-funded activities with other community partners, and collaborating to deliver direct services. The presentation also includes recent data gathered on human trafficking intervention efforts in Contra Costa County, including a growing emphasis on labor trafficking, and gives an opportunity to discuss support that is needed.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Board of Supervisors will not receive an update on anti-human trafficking efforts happening in Contra Costa County.
