Overview
Beginning in July 1999 and continuing through August 2000, a coalition of
over fifty citizens worked to identify & address the most critical issues
facing children and families in Tillamook County. The following links give
an overview of their work and accomplishments. It is our hope that visitors
to this site will find the information useful in their own planning and
resource development. While all the information contained in these pages
are copy righted by Tillamook County (Disclaimer), permission is given

Work continues during 2001! Two tracks are currently underway: continued planning and systems analysis; and implementation of strategies identified during the first year. These pages will be updated as work progresses.
What is the Comprehensive Strategy?
A Planning Team, appointed by the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners,
worked under the leadership and direction of the Tillamook County Commission
on Children & Families. The local commission, as it's known, was appointed
by the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners as the lead planning agency
for all health and human services in the county. Planning Team and Work
Group members gave unselfishly of their time, expertise, and creativity
to complete this plan. Their dedication and willingness to "think outside
the box" is an inspiration to the entire community.
