The mission of the Downey Cares Collaborative (DCC) is to cultivate a public-private
coalition to address the needs of children and families in the City of Downey who are
affected by child abuse and neglect. The committee was formed in May 2018 and is
comprised of members from various agencies such as the Department of Child and
Family Services, Department of Mental Health, Downey Unified School District, Downey
Clergy Council, Supervisor Janice Hahn's Office and City of Downey staff.
Throughout the past year, the committee has successfully collaborated to assist local
children and families who are in the foster care system by providing mentorship
opportunities, in-kind donations, referrals and resources, and most recently, a
successful Fostering Home event here in the City of Downey.
DCC is celebrating its first year as a committee and in recognition of their hard work
over the past year, it is recommend that the City Council authorize an appropriation of
$1,000 to host a luncheon.
