Discussion:
The Upstream Investments policy initiative, sponsored by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, seeks to promote effective prevention-focused approaches that will ultimately impact poverty and reduce monetary and societal costs to our community. The Portfolio of Model Upstream Programs consists of local organizations that operationalize these upstream approaches in the programs and services they deliver to the community.
