Body
OVERVIEW
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) Policy A-112 and the San Diego County Administrative Code Section 66 require Board approval to accept gifts and donations over $5,000. The County of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency, Child Welfare Services (CWS) periodically receives monetary gifts and in-kind donations of over $5,000 to benefit children temporarily residing at the A.B. and Jessie Polinsky Children's Center (PCC) and children involved with CWS. PCC is a County operated Temporary Shelter Care Facility administered by CWS and provides 24-hour non-medical care for up to 10 calendar days for children and youth under 18 years of age who can no longer safely remain with their family of origin due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment.
On June 8, 2021 (8), the Board approved accepting gifts and donations valued at $59,703 for Calendar Year (CY) 2020. Today's action requests the Board to accept gifts and donations valuing $38,045 for CY 2021: $17,807 for the benefit of children at PCC and $20,238 for the benefit of children involved with CWS. This item supports the County's vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been historically left behind, as well as our ongoing commitment to the regional Live Well San Diego vision of healthy, safe and thriving communities. This will be accomplished by furthering collective efforts to maximize resources through community partnerships and providing equitable access to these resources.
