The Healthy Start Field Office (HSFO) was created to provide
training and technical assistance services to the more than 1,000
public schools in California receiving SB-620 Healthy Start
planning or operational grants from the California Department of Education
(CDE).
These grants were established in 1991 by SB-620 and have been
awarded annually to establish school-linked learning supports for
children, families, and communities. Over 850 grants had been
awarded in all 58 counties of California.
