The two year plan for the 1999-2001 biennium was developed in the fall of 1999. The Network will continue to focus on the prevention of child abuse and neglect. It will work to strengthen and support families with children ages prenatal to eight, in particular families that are socially or economically isolated. With Vancouver Children's Therapy Center as lead agency, Family Response Services will become the first important step on the way to implementing 24-hour crisis care in Clark County. The Network also decided to fund the Teen Parent Project again.
Networks receive state funds.
The Family Policy Council provides the networks with oversight as well as support. Administrative and fiscal support to the local network is provided by the Human Services Council. The board is currently recruiting new volunteer members.
