**Summary Narrative: Proposed Use of FFY 2000 Funds**

State administrative responsibility for the OCSE Child Access &
Visitation Grant program has been transferred from the California Dept.
of Social Services (CDSS) to the Judicial Council of California. Since
California has legislation which mandates the attempted mediation of all
parenting disputes prior to being sent to the court, the Judicial
Council policy and statute is that Federal grant funds are limited to
support parent education, group counseling, supervised visitation and
neutral drop off and exchange services. All California Family Courts are
eligible to receive these funds. In turn, courts contract with nonprofit
agencies and other community-based organizations to provide services to
parents with custody and visitation issues. Applicants are encouraged to
collaborate with other courts and counties in the development of their
programs. To date, child access and visitation services is based on
sliding scale fees -- are available in 34 of 58 counties throughout the
state as follows:

1.  [Connection for Kids]{.underline} Monterey, San Benito, San Mateo,
    Santa Clara, & Santa Cruz

2.  [Parental Access Program Alliance]{.underline} San Luis Obispo,
    Santa Barbara & Ventura

3.  [Safe Access & Friendly Exchanges for Kids]{.underline} Los Angeles

4.  [Access to Visitation Program]{.underline} El Dorado, Placer,
    Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano & Yolo

5.  [Enhancing Responsibility & Opportunity]{.underline}\
    [for Nonresidential Parents]{.underline} Del Norte, Humboldt, &
    Mendocino

6.  [Family Cohesion Collaborative]{.underline} Napa and San Francisco

7.  [Parent and Children Together]{.underline} San Bernardino

8.  [Unified Parent Access Program]{.underline} Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama
    & Trinity
