Polk County Commission for Children and Families

What We Do

At the direction of the Board of Commissioners, and in conjunction with the guidelines set by the State Commission on Children and Families, the main purpose of the Polk County Commission for Children and Families (PCCCF) is to promote wellness for the children and families in Polk County, to mobilize communities and to develop policy and oversee the implementation of a local coordinated comprehensive plan.

In addition, PCCCF assists in building communities that care about individuals, children and families. We do this by fostering collaboration and community mobilization, utilizing broad-based community participation, measuring our results and holding ourselves accountable along with distributing and supervising local, state and federal funds dedicated to services to children and families.

Regular Commission meetings are held the fourth Tuesday of each month in Conference Rooms 324 A & B of the Academy Building (182 SW Academy) in Dallas from 5:10 - 7:00 pm.

Commission office hours are 8:00 am - 5:00 pm (closed from 12 pm - 1pm), Monday through Friday.

 Current Activities

**Request for Proposal** 
The PCCCF is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide the services outlined in the official RFP document. The overall goal is to ask as many parents, grandparents and caregivers in Polk County what types of resources and supports they need to raise children. PCCCF will use that information to direct funding and form collaborations for the 2010-11 school year.
