The Family and Children’s Services Advisory Committee (FACSAC), was established in 1972 by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to advise the principle policy-setting and administrative officials in the county and participate in the development and assessment of policies, programs and activities that benefit residents of our county, particularly those in need of supportive social services.

Specifically, members of the FACSAC Committee are engaged in:

	Advising the Board of Supervisors, the County Administrator, and the Director of Employment & Human Services Department on the effectiveness of current and proposed social programs
	Reviewing and reporting on recent and pending legislation related to social services
	Identifying problems in the community that affect low income and high risk families, such as housing, transportation, education, and employment opportunities
	Soliciting broad-based participation of county residents from all segments of the population to ensure that policies and programs are relevant and culturally/ethnically appropriate
	Participating with other committees and citizen groups interested in social services to improve the overall service delivery system

The Committee has up to fifteen members, three from each of the Supervisorial Districts. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month in Martinez. If you have any questions about this Committee, please contact the FACSAC staff at (925) 313-1614.
