FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Project FOCUS helps parents support their children
Project FOCUS (For Our Children Utilizing Support) is a joint program of the Children’s Support Enforcement Agency, a Division of the Summit County’s Prosecutors Office, and the Community Health Center, funded by the Summit County Department of Jobs and Family Services.
Project FOCUS is directed at assisting non-custodial parents, who are under community control for non-support, to find employment and meet their court ordered and moral financial obligation. The creation of this project was singularly directed at helping to provide children with the financial support they desperately need during their formative years. Through this effort the participating parties are hopeful that our next generation will grow with less poverty, disease and crime.
A summary compiled by the Community Health Center reports since the inception of Project FOCUS, the 222 patients referred to the program have paid $348,119.87 in child support.
