The Orange County Citizens’ Commission for Children (CCC), solicits proposals from nonprofit
organizations in Orange
County for children’s services. The funding is allocated through the Citizens’ Review Panel for Human
Services
Advisory Board (CRP)
Citizens’ Review Panel (CRP) for Human Services Advisory Board is a volunteer board who are appointed by
the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, formed in 1995 for the purpose of making funding
recommendations
for the allocation of Orange County human service dollars to local nonprofits. Funding local nonprofit
organizations
helps bring critically-needed services to the citizens of our community.
In 2018, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners commissioned the services of Forefront, LLC, an
independent
Florida-based consulting, research and advisory firm, to provide recommendations for the utilization of
$20 million in
new funding earmarked for children’s programs and services in Orange County. Forefront, LLC published a
final report
outlining focus areas for targeted services of Juvenile Prevention/Diversion, Mental and Physical
Health, Early
Childhood Education/Care and Child/Student Homelessness. The report recommended that programming to
address the
identified focus areas, be primarily targeted in nine (9) zip codes in Orange County: 32703, 32801,
32805, 32808, 32810,
32811, 32818, 32822, and 32839.
Various programs in this directory are specific to the targeted zip codes identified by
the report
. These programs
will be labeled by program name. Agency’s who have received funding for the specific sectors,
will serve 75% of
their youth and families from those zip codes. Below you will find a chart with the sectors and
the zip codes.
