2008-2014 Plan
Background:
The Douglas County Commission on Children and Families is charged by
the Oregon Legislative Assembly (ORS 417.775) to serve as the
convener and facilitator for creating our county’s coordinated
comprehensive plan for children and families. The
2008-2014 Comprehensive Plan was built on planning work beginning in
1994. The planning process in 2007 involved discussions at
collaborative groups, plus 26 hours of focus groups in 19 settings,
four community forums (held in Canyonville, Drain, Reedsport, and
Roseburg), a youth forum, and a public hearing held by the
Commission.
2010 Plan Update:
The
2010 plan update process to the comprehensive plan and High Risk
Juvenile Crime Prevention plan component involved 28 stakeholders
from public and nonprofit organizations at the Comprehensive Plan
Update meeting; 26 voting members at the Juvenile Crime Prevention
Partnership meeting; and 250 respondents to a web survey (with 198
completed surveys).

community issues, conditions, gaps, barriers, solutions, and
strategies.

Outcomes for Children and Families: Douglas County’s Comprehensive

“Unlike the
statistics that make up a deficit-oriented community
assessment, those that are gathered for a community profile
become a part of a comprehensive, strengths-based assessment
that expresses residents’ knowledge of their community. ...
It should be recognized, however, that gathering information
is an ongoing process that does not end when initial data
collection is completed.”
