Commission on Children, Families &
Community (CCFC)
The CCFC is one of 36 Commissions on Children and Families in
Oregon -- there's one in each county and we're all part of the
Oregon
Commission on Children and Families (OCCF) system. We have
a volunteer board and several volunteer committees. These are
supported by our staff (about 8 FTE). (See our org
chart).
Our mandate is to promote wellness for children of all ages and
their families. We do this by working with the community and stakeholders
to develop policy recommendations and planning frameworks. We
also work to involve and support the community in making Multnomah
County a great place to grow up and live. Finally, we serve as
the county's Community Action Agency which oversees the delivery
of anti-poverty programs here in Multnomah County.
Much of our work focuses around these three frameworks which
we've had a role in developing and implementing:
Our work also centers on Youth Development
and the Community Safety Net program.
Finally, we provide comprehensive
community planning as directed by the state.
