Initiatives
Shared Funding Opportunities
Since the levy campaign, the Safe Kids Coalition has not slowed down. The Coalition has brought forward two collective funding requests in 2021. These requests include a $1.18 million Congressionally Directed Spending proposal and an $8.1 million proposal for American Rescue Plan Act funding allocation from Clackamas County.
Creating a Common Narrative
Currently, the organizations serving children and families in our county are stretched to their limits. When we come together we can share the strength of our collective voice and a common narrative. Advocacy for stable and adequate funding to support children impacted by trauma is stronger with shared data and a common narrative.
