The Coalition strives to encourage a climate of decision making responsive to the needs of Florida's children, youth and families; and to promote quality systems of care through value-based and fiscally accountable programs.  The Coalition facilitates member collaboration and resource sharing as well as educates state and local policymakers about issues affecting children and families in crisis and the agencies involved in their care and treatment.  Maintaining a strong presence in Tallahassee, where our corporate headquarters is located just a few minutes from the Capitol, FCC works with its lobbyists, the FCC Legislative Committee, members of the Legislature, and other child agencies which share similar philosophies and concerns, in order to monitor and affect legislation impacting its member agencies and their children.
