|
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/11/2024 09:05 AM

Sacramento, CA...Dear Governor and Legislative Leaders: The Joint Legislative Audit Committee requested an audit of the State’s homelessness funding, including an evaluation of the efforts undertaken by the State and two cities to monitor the cost‑effectiveness of such spending. The following report (2023‑102.1) focuses primarily on the State’s activities, in particular the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH)— while a separate report (2023‑102.2) details our findings and conclusions for the two cities we reviewed—San José and San Diego.

Women & Children’s Resource Fund Donates to CASA Program |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/10/2024 10:33 PM
|
Jackson, CA...The Amador Community Foundation (ACF) has awarded a check for $2,300 to the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program of Amador and Calaveras, administered locally by Nexus Youth & Family Services in Jackson. The award was made possible thanks to the Women & Children’s Support Resource Fund, an ACF donor-advised fund aptly named after Women & Children’s Support Resources, an entity created by the late Ruth Gottstein, founder and publisher of Volcano Press. The entity’s active participants, including Doug Ketron, a Nexus board member, and Dale Ketron, a CASA volunteer, used the remaining monies upon Gottstein’s death in 2022 to continue the legacy of long-term support to women and children she embraced in her life and professional career. CASA, which supports children in the dependency court system, seemed a perfect fit.
