Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: As part of the third year review, commissioners will review and discuss the Strategic Investment Plan and the first round Request for Proposals. Vice Chair Ghafari and Commissioner Thomas will present on the definition of mental health.
The Sacramento Children’s Fund Planning and Oversight Commission will discuss potential recommendations it may wish to make to better align outcomes with the five fund goals, which include: (1) supporting the mental health and emotional wellness of youth; (2) preventing and reducing homelessness among youth, including youth transitioning out of foster care; (3) preventing and reducing youth substance abuse; (4) preventing and reducing youth violence; and (5) supporting the healthy development of children ages 0 to 5 years old.
The Commission may also consider its approach to potential changes in funding for the second round of open grants. The commission may discuss the definition of mental health and substance abuse and any programs or evidence-based practices it would like to recommend be included in the next competitive application process.
Any recommendations to 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 SIP approved by Council. Certain recommended revisions to the competitive selection process, and any revisions to the SIP, would require City Council approval.
