Yocha DeHe Community Fund to Support Critical SCH Programs
Sacramento Children's Home has received a grant for $150K from the Yocha DeHe Tribal Board to fund a Home Visitor in our Valley Hi Family Resource Center for 3 years (at $50K per year). At the current time, CPS is only referring at-risk families to our Family Resource Centers with children ages 0-5. This grant will allow us to work with CPS to reach 20 identified at-risk families with children ages 6-12 who have previously not been served.
We are hopeful that this is the beginning of a trend in funding this underserved population, so that the children who are suffering in this age group will be reached, and their families provided with resources to diminish their potential for abuse and neglect in the futu...one family at a time.
THANK YOU YOCHA DEHE!!! WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!!!

"These are only two of the many children I have come to know through [my] years [at the Sacramento Children's Home]. Their early life afflictions still simmer deep in their consciousness and emerge as severe antagonism and difficulty attaching to another human being. In 2009, Sacramento County received calls alleging abuse of 21,000 children. There are more than 67,000 kids in foster care and more than 9,000 in group homes in California."
