Funding Information -- Funding Resources
has created this initial directory of funding resources to assist communities
in their efforts to respond to the effects of children exposed to violence.
We are very interested in including additional funding resources, so if you want to be added to the list, please
contact us at sfts@doj.ca.gov.
Click here for the funding charts that were created during the Sustainability breakout sessions at the March 12, 2002 Safe from the Start Expo. The categories

The funding charts will help you to identify both short-term and long-term resources that can help you to expand and sustain your programs.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING SOURCES
For more information: Call your local Children and Family Commission; see www.ccfc.ca.gov for information on your local commission.
As a result of the passage of Proposition 10, the California Children and Families
Act, in 1998, each county now has a Children and Families Commission. Each
County Commission is required to prepare a strategic plan, based on community
input, setting out its funding priorities for services/programs for children
age 0 to five. Most County Commissions have already completed their plans
for the current fiscal year. Contact the Executive Director of your County
Commission to determine whether particular violence prevention strategies
are consistent with the Strategic Plan or whether such strategies may be
included in future plans.
New Funding: Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act of 2000.
For more information: View the text of AB 1913 at www.leginfo.ca.gov,
esp. pages 11-14
Signed by Governor Davis on September 7, 2000, AB1913 provides $121
million to counties for local youth violence prevention programs including
gang-prevention, youth centers and mental health and substance-abuse services.
County plans must be developed by a multiagency Juvenile Justice Coordinating
Council, chaired by the county chief probation officer. Plans must be approved
by the State Board of Corrections; approved plans will receive a minimum
of $100,000 for implementation.
STATE GOVERNMENT FUNDING SOURCES

The California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board administers the Victims of Crime (VOC) Program which
can help innocent victims of certain crimes and their family members when
they have no other means of recovering crime-related income or medical losses.
The California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board is granted authority under California law (Government
Code Sections 13959 - 13969.5 and 13970 - 13974.1), to provide certain victims
of crime payments from the Restitution Fund for unreimbursed losses directly
resulting from a crime. The Restitution Fund is the VOC Program's primary
funding source and it receives monies collected through fines and penalties
imposed by judges upon persons convicted of crimes and traffic offenses
in California.
To further protect children in the State, Government Code Section 13960(b)(3)
has been amended to state: "A child who has been the witness of a crime
or crimes of domestic violence may be presumed by the board to have sustained
physical injury."
This qualifies the child to receive funds to pay for expenses incurred
as a result of the domestic violence. The Board requires documentation
that the child was present, and heard and/or witnessed the violence. This
information should be included preferably on a law enforcement report.
However, if the information is inconclusive, they will look to other supporting
documentation, for example, from the therapist.

as especially acute at this time, and will target resources toward building
and strengthening systems for training and supporting infant/toddler caregivers,
parents, and home visitors.

By fostering solutions at the community level, the Community Partnerships
for Healthy Children initiative is triggering fundamental changes in the
way participating communities address children's issues in a 26-county region
of northern California. Four principles guide the initiative: 1) Parents
and families, supported by community resources, are first and foremost responsible
for the healthy development and care of their children; 2) Emphasis should
be given to prevention of and early intervention for preventable conditions;
3) The physical and mental health of a child is affected by a wide variety
of factors, the quality of life of families being most significant; and
4) Effective solutions to the problems of children and their families require
collaboration among decision makers, providers, advocates and consumers
who represent diverse, community interests.

Families today face an array of challenges in building a sustainable household
and providing opportunities for their children and youth to attain success.
Communities have a significant influence on the behavior and prospects for
individual families and children. The premise of the Communities program
is that satisfactory family and youth outcomes depend on a whole-community
approach, involving both stronger services and greater individual, family,
and community responsibility for supporting children's development.
