Information

Referral History:

Oversight of the Community Services Bureau and Head Start programs was originally referred to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) on March 1, 2005. Since that time the program has provided the Committee with annual updates on the programs and services provided. The last annual report was received by the FHS on September 27, 2021.

At their March 28, 2022 meeting, FHS received a report from the Community Services Bureau of the Employment and Human Services Department regarding mechanisms and processes to strengthen the Board of Supervisors' guidance and supervision of Head Start in the areas of "strategy, fiscal and policy." At the meeting, the Committe accepted the department's recommendation to continue providing updates on this topic to FHS on a monthly, or as needed basis.
