Children’s Fund serves the whole county of San Bernardino. CA31 will benefit from this project by empowering Children’s Fund to respond quickly to children and their families in emergent crises that might otherwise overwhelm the available County resources for this region. This is an excellent use of taxpayer funds for three reasons: Fiscally responsible, sustainability, opportunity, and hope. Providing Children's Fund with the funding required to respond to emergency funding's growing needs stabilizes families. Stabilized families ultimately cost the entire community far less in the long run with less utilization of public funding, less drug & alcohol abuse-related treatment and hospitalizations, and fewer arrests and reduced recidivism. Also, there is improved academic success in children and healthieroutcomes with accessible nutrition.The sustainability of Children’s Fund preserves established relationships and allows accommodating growth to meet future needs of our community. Operational support secures Children’s Fund’s ability to maintain their trained staff at current levels, hire when needed, and not have to cut programs and services due to layoffs and furloughs, this further exacerbates the need for public support programs which are alreadystretched to their limits.Access without support is not an opportunity. Children's Fund has the reputation, partnerships, experience, and capacity to offer support through a wide range of conduits. Taxpayers in high percentages of bipartisan support would like to see underserved, vulnerable children get opportunities to break destructive cycles and achieve success beyond where their circumstances originated. Providing and supporting opportunity is thesingle best way to create hope and positivity for the future.Hope is one of the single most significant indicators of future success. If taxpayer dollars are for the community's improvement, hope leads to ambition, which leads to success, which leads to innovation, which strengthens and unites communities. Children's Fund supports children through some of the worst and unimaginable traumas, coordinates with foster liaisons and healthcare providers, provide scholarships, and provides mentors to help former foster youth's collegiate success. They witness the cycle of poverty end as promising young adults emerge with hope, skills, and the spirit to contribute and give back. 348 Hospitality Lane, #110 , San Bernardino, CA 92408 100000
