Santa Barbara County Utilizes Technology with a Human Touch to Aid in Debris-Flow Recovery
July 24, 2019 David Liebler

The emotional scars from the 2018 devastating debris flow in Santa Barbara County are still as evident as the vacant lots scattered through the Montecito community. The nature of the destruction during that January night is difficult to put into words.  In a matter of minutes, 23 people lost their lives, nearly 500 properties destroyed or damaged, and an estimated $175 million in property damage.

Kern County Cultivates a Culture of Continuous Improvement
June 26, 2019 Sara Floor

Budget shortfalls and structural deficits are never good news for counties.

Orange County Teen Parent Program Focuses on Long-Term Success
June 12, 2019 David Liebler

Being a teenager can be a very complicated and difficult period of life. Add the daunting responsibility and fear of becoming a teen parent and life can seem overbearing. That’s where the Orange County Teen Parent Program comes in – to assist teen parents under the age of 18 through the child-support process while also providing the resources to help them succeed.

Madera County Uses a Team Approach to Narrate Their Own Story

Madera County Uses a Team Approach to Narrate Their Own Story
May 29, 2019 Sara Floor

Many hands make light work, as the adage goes. In Madera County, a decision to create a Public Information Team from current staff rather than hire a single public information officer has led to better customer service and storytelling in this rural, Central Valley County.

Once You Learn About Mendocino County, You’ll Never Look at Employee Wellness Programs the Same Way Again

Once You Learn About Mendocino County, You’ll Never Look at Employee Wellness Programs the Same Way Again
May 15, 2019 Sara Floor

Prior to joining CSAC last fall, I spent over a decade working for a nutrition education organization where I witnessed the heralded birth of our own workplace wellness program. When an organization employing a dozen registered dietitians and health advocates struggled to keep its employees engaged in wellness, I realized I was about to witness something great when I started learning more about Mendocino County’s Working on Wellness Program.

April 17, 2019 Sara Floor

After a career of helping others address substance use issues with alternative and holistic therapies, Tony Landrum found himself living with brain cancer and in need of some care himself.

“Alameda County Care Partners, especially Miss Wanda, came out to visit me and learn about my needs,” said Landrum. “Miss Wanda not only listened to me, but she really heard me.”

Yuba County’s 14Forward: What Has Made It So Successful?

Yuba County’s 14Forward: What Has Made It So Successful?
April 10, 2019 David Liebler

Yuba County’s 14Forward program for the homeless is a success story. It’s taken a lot of collaboration, creativity, patience, learning, and trust-building since it opened its doors in July 2016 – but the results are evident. The program is taking people off the streets and helping them turn their lives around.

14Forward’s tiny homes made out of modified Tuff Sheds get a lot of the publicity, but the program is much more than that. It provides wrap-around services for homeless individuals who are ready to start a new chapter.

Making Emergency Power Portable
March 20, 2019 Whitney Alderson

On a hot Thursday afternoon in September 2011, San Diego County was plunged into darkness when a massive power outage hit the region, caused by a grid malfunction across the southwestern United States. The blackout spanned from North County to Coronado and left millions of San Diego County residents without power for over 12 hours.  Power was restored but in the aftermath, County officials learned a lot about the vulnerabilities and gaps in their emergency response plan.

Forum Helps Ensure Safe Drinking Water Across California
Placer County Taps Into Statewide Expertise for Workshop, Trainings and Collaboration

Forum Helps Ensure Safe Drinking Water Across California
March 6, 2019 Sara Floor

Mark Twain is often credited with saying “whiskey’s for drinking and water’s for fighting.” Certainly, in drought prone-California, water is a complex and contentious issue. And according to Wesley Nicks, Placer County Environmental Health Director, nothing is more critical, more imperative than safe drinking water for California’s communities.

Sacramento County Program Helps Detained Youth Learn to Regulate Their Emotions

Sacramento County Program Helps Detained Youth Learn to Regulate Their Emotions
February 20, 2019 David Liebler

Two special rooms within the Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility are having a strong, positive impact on the residents. They are called “multi-sensory de-escalation rooms,” and the County is the first juvenile detention facility in the United States to open such a program.

These de-escalation rooms provide a safe environment where the facility’s residents can calm down and regulate their feelings without use of force or being put in isolation. This is a skill that can serve them well when they are back in the community.

Inyo County is Taking the Initiative with At-Risk Youth

Inyo County is Taking the Initiative with At-Risk Youth
February 6, 2019 David Liebler

When you sit down and talk with Inyo County’s Rehabilitation Specialists about the impact they are having on local youth, they are modest in their response. But their success is anything but modest. Formerly classified as juvenile correction counselors who worked inside Juvenile Hall, these specialists now work out in the community and are playing a pivotal role in the Inyo County Juvenile Services Redesign Initiative’s success at helping turn around the lives of youth before they end up in the adult correctional system.

Church works for Alameda County in the Office of Sustainability where she and colleague Karen Cook collaborate with the County’s Procurement Department to advance the county’s Sustainable Purchasing Program – an impressive initiative that has grown over two decades to become one of the leading green procurement efforts in California local government.
