The
Los Angeles County Children's Planning Council - a
countywide public/private collaborative - is
dedicated to improving the lives of children and
families by encouraging partnerships, promoting the
use of data, developing resources and tools, and
emphasizing the importance of outcomes and results.
Our goal is to build stronger and more effective
systems that serve families and children, build
linkages between government and community, and
improve planning efforts so that we increase the
probability of successful actions that enhance child
and family well-being throughout Los Angeles.

Board
of Supervisors Approves
The Three Goals
On February 3rd, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
unanimously approved three bold goals and nine recommendations
introduced by the Children’s Planning Council (CPC) to help
improve the plight of children in Los Angeles County. The
recommendations – based on data reflected in the 2003 Children
Now California Report Card and the CPC Los Angeles County
Children’s ScoreCard – represent important steps for the
County of Los Angeles to address issues of poverty, health
access, and child welfare. Specifically, the County hopes
to achieve the following goals:
- By July 2005, ensure that an additional 135,000 children
and youth are enrolled in health coverage programs.
- By July 2005, significantly increase the number of
children living in safe, stable, nurturing families.
- By July 2005, increase the number of families with
children that claim and receive the Earned Income Tax
Credit by 20,000.
To achieve these goals, the Board of Supervisors approved
a set of recommendations, to be carried out by its agency
leaders in partnership with community stakeholders. To review
