  • Mental Health Funding and Oversight Committee - This committee reviews grant proposals from agencies providing intensive counseling type services and outreach meant to have a positive impact on an individual or family’s well-being, especially in crisis situations. Programs address issues such as sexual abuse, family conflict, depression, substance abuse, and coping with cancer and other illnesses.
     
  • Disability Support Funding and Oversight Committee – This committee reviews grant requests from agencies that serve clients with developmental and other disabilities and their families, with a focus on achieving economic self-sufficiency and ensuring equality, equity, and inclusion in all facets of community life for persons with disabilities.
