DISCUSSION:
In 1998, California voters approved Proposition 10, the California Children and Families Act, designating a tax on tobacco sales and establishing the state and county Children and Families Commissions. Local commissions implement programs to work toward an "integrated, comprehensive, and collaborative system of information and services to enhance optimal early childhood development" with an emphasis on local decision making. Each year, the Humboldt County Commission on Children and Families, also known as First 5 Humboldt, produces a comprehensive local evaluation report which reviews all expenditures and programs as they address First 5 Humboldt's Strategic Plan. The annual Community Report is a compilation of the highlights of that evaluation report, describing key programs and services offered to Humboldt's youngest residents and their families.
