1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: November 1, 2016 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 8-a <br /> SUBJECT: Family Success Alliance Budget Projections <br /> DEPARTMENT: Health <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Coby Austin, 919-245-2070 <br /> PURPOSE: To provide a rough estimate of the Family Success Alliance budget projections for <br /> the next five years. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Orange County Board of Commissioners has made a commitment to <br /> fighting childhood poverty through supporting the Family Success Alliance (FSA), which <br /> launched in 2014. FSA is a "collective impact" initiative modeled on Harlem Children's Zone <br /> and other place-based cradle-to-college/career programs throughout the country. This model <br /> entails making a long-term commitment to the community that grows over time as more children <br /> are embraced by the pipeline of services and supports provided. <br /> This report will provide an overview of FSA's major program areas, as well as the anticipated <br /> scope of services/programs over the coming five years, based on the number of children who <br /> enter the pipeline in each fiscal year. Accordingly, the funding needed to meet the commitment <br /> FSA has made to the community will grow over time. The budget estimates are not included in <br /> this abstract, but will be presented at the November 1 meeting. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact related to receiving these budget <br /> projections. The FY 2016-17 Approved Budget includes County funds of $355,000 for Family <br /> Success Alliance initiatives. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable <br /> to this item: <br /> • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND <br /> INEQUITY <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; <br /> religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or <br /> ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic <br /> status. <br /> • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY <br /> The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary <br /> for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their <br /> dependents. <br />
