the recommendation of the Human Services Commission, to increase the

the Human Services Commission. Families First Program recently completed a
federal audit. She said the federal audit commented upon the Families First
Program as being an outstanding program of its kind in the country. Ms. Mazen

cog in the wheel. Ms. Test pointed out money received for the community
advocacy program comes from Proposition No.2, sales tax. Ms. Text's
viewpoint on restoration of funding, as a result of funding cuts last year, would
not effect other human services because the money that funds DAWN's position
comes directly from sales tax; not from other funding. She concluded her
remarks by stating that domestic violence is a health care issue, a child
development issue, and a homeless issue.
