Meeting Date: September 5, 2017
Action Agenda
Item No. 4-b
SUBJECT: Family Success Alliance — Impact Report and Update
DEPARTMENT: Health
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
2016-17 FSA Impact Report Dorothy Cilenti, 245-2412
Coby Jansen Austin, 245-2070
PURPOSE: To receive an update on accomplishments and evaluation findings of the Family
Success Alliance's first three years, and preview major endeavors anticipated in fiscal year
2017-18 and projections for future fiscal years.
BACKGROUND: The Orange County Board of Commissioners has made a commitment to
fighting childhood poverty through supporting the Family Success Alliance (FSA), which
launched in 2014. FSA is a "collective impact" initiative modeled on Harlem Children's Zone
and other place-based cradle-to-college/career programs throughout the country. This model
entails making a long-term commitment to the community that grows over time as more children
are embraced by the pipeline of services and supports provided.
Staff will present an overview of FSA's major accomplishments over the past three years, as
findings from initial evaluation efforts. Staff will also project the anticipated scope of
services/programs in the coming years and an overview of potential external funding
opportunities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact. Past and current County
appropriations for Family Success Alliance initiatives include:
FY 2015-16 — $250,000
FY 2016-17 — $355,000
FY 2017-18 — $406,876
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: Family Success Alliance touches on three Orange County Social
Justice Goals through its comprehensive approach that includes reducing the inequities that
result in the academic opportunity gap, working with families through the Navigator program and
our partners to increase economic self-sufficiency, and helping families and the community
address issues related to community safety, such as behavioral health concerns and domestic
violence.

• GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND
INEQUITY
The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color;
religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or
ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic
status.
• GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary
for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their
dependents.
• GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY
The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang
activity, substance abuse and domestic violence.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive the information, ask
questions, and discuss as necessary.
