The Lane County Department of Children and Families (DCF) protects, supports, and nurtures health and safety in all children and families by connecting, energizing, and mobilizing the community. Although our department is small, it has a big impact in motivating our entire community to think and act protectively in support of all our children.
DCF works in conjunction with the Lane County Commission on Children and Families (CCF), a 21 member commission appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The Commission is charged by state statute to advise Board of County Commissioners on children, youth and family policies and to develop a comprehensive plan for the county to foster a wellness system.
