Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The Sacramento Children’s Fund Planning and Oversight Commission will receive a presentation from the City’s Economic Development Department regarding the importance of supporting the healthy development of children ages 0 to 5 years old and the potential short- and long-term impacts of investments in early childhood development.
The presentation will provide information regarding the current need for services and support for children ages 0 to 5 and their families, including potential barriers that may prevent families from accessing resources and programs.
The Sacramento Children’s Fund Strategic Investment Plan identifies supporting the healthy development of children ages 0 to 5 years old as one of the five fund goals. The Commission may discuss potential strategies into the second round of the Sacramento Children’s Fund competitive application process.
Any recommendations to staff revise the competitive selection process must be consistent with the Commission’s powers and duties, as established in Section 120 of the City Charter, as well as the Strategic Investment Plan approved by the City Council. Certain recommended revisions to the competitive selection process, and any revisions to the Strategic Investment Plan, would require City Council approval.
