BACKGROUND:
The First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission has adopted a new five-year strategic plan to invest more than $70 million in programs that serve children ages 0 to 5 and their families. This investment commitment guarantees consistent, stable funding for local children’s programs at a time when county and state budget cuts have greatly reduced services for children. The Commission's approval of the plan titled, "Investing in Early Childhood," marked the culmination of an 18-month, public planning process that engaged community stakeholders, grantees, commissioners, and staff.
