Help Protect Services for Families and Seniors in Santa Cruz County

On Tuesday, June 28, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors will vote on the budget to determine funding for Family Resource Centers, Elderday Adult Day Health Care, and Early Education Division child care centers.

CORE funding recommended cuts to Community Bridges services by 65%, or more than $816,000 every year for three years, July 2022 through June 2025.
