This is important because no one knows better than our local communities what resources are needed to improve child health and well being in our county. Accordingly, the goal of our Commission has been to create a strategic plan that accurately reflects the needs and priorities determined by all interested community residents, thereby assuring the best possible utilization of Prop. 10 funds to meet local needs. To accomplish this, a planning process incorporating needs assessments, advisory focus groups, a community-wide survey and a forum was developed and implemented.
