More than a million people live in the nearly 400 square-miles commonly known as Northern Virginia. Thirty-five percent of them are learning English as a second language. Thousands of them have been helped by the support of Fairfax County's Consolidated Community Funding Pool. CCFP. Fairfax County has been a steadfast partner to the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, ensuring our adult students have reliable access to regularly-scheduled, high-quality, outcomes-based literacy and English language instruction.
Fairfax County's Consolidated Community Funding Pool supports projects focused on providing, acquiring, and rehabilitating affordable housing and on providing human services. The Consolidated Community Funding Advisory Committee (CCFAC) manages all aspects of CCFP's proposal review, grant making, policy setting. The CCFAC is composed of Fairfax County citizens and representatives from the Fairfax County Human Services Boards and Commissions. The fund was established in 1997. For many years now, Fairfax County has also provided office space at the James Lee Community Center, free of charge, to the Literacy Council. This has been an enormous help in keeping LCNV's operational costs as low as they are. |
