California Child Support Services
Program - Strategic Plan 2002 ~ 2005
May 5, 2003
The Strategic Plan presented here
represents the strategic plan for the California
Child Support Services Program for the next three
years. This is more than the plan for the Departments
of Child Support Services; it is the plan for the
delivery of child support services throughout the
state. The California Child Support Services Program
encompasses state and local partner - the California
Department of Child Support Services, which provides
leadership, uniformity, program performance requirements,
oversight and funding, and the local child support
agencies operating in every county in California,
which provide direct services to families - along
with federal partners, who provide oversight and
funding.
President Bush Proposes $450
Million To Mentor Children
January 30, 2003
President Bush's proposal includes
$150 million over the next three years, through
HHS, to help more than 100,000 adolescent children
of prisoners find an adult mentor. This represents
$50 million in HHS' budget for fiscal year 2004,
double the fiscal year 2003 president's budget request
of $25 million for HHS' Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Program. In addition, the proposal includes nearly
$300 million through the Department of Education
over the next three years to support the development,
expansion and strengthening of mentoring programs
targeted at disadvantaged middle school students.
The Department of Child Support
Services successfully teamed up once again with
the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers for
the 2002 Responsible Fatherhood Campaign. In the
midst of a great season, Bryant Young and Jeff Ulbrich
of the San Francisco 49ers, and Rod Woodson of the
Oakland Raiders took time out to promote responsible
fatherhood. Aside from being great athletes, Bryant,
Jeff and Rod realize the importance of being great
parents by spending time with their kids.
The 2003-04 Governor's Budget
for the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS)
provides funding to promote the well being of children
and the self-sufficiency of families by delivering
first-rate child support establishment and collection
services that help both parents meet financial,
medical, and emotional needs of their children.
Total funding is proposed to decrease by $17.8 million
or 1.5 percent over the revised 2002-03 budget.
The State General Fund (SGF) budget is proposed
to increase by $5.1 million or 1.1 percent over
the revised 2002-03 budget. The DCSS budget reflects
the transfer of new program responsibilities, and
program reductions in the Department's operating
budget and local assistance budget.
