The Family Access Network (FAN) received a $15,000 grant from Central Oregon Health Council (COHC) to support FAN advocate services at Terrebonne Community School. According to Central Oregon Health Data, 39.6% of children in Terrebonne's census tract live in poverty (compared to 11.9% average in Deschutes County overall). FAN helps families who are income-constrained, living in poverty, or experiencing homelessness connect to resources, so that they can regain stability and self-sufficiency. "We're grateful for COHC's continued support of FAN's work to alleviate poverty, especially in rural areas where barriers to assistance can be greater," said Julie N. Lyche, FAN Executive Director. "Terrebonne Community School was one of FAN's first locations when we started 30 years ago. We're proud to continue serving students and their family members in this area." COHC is dedicated to improving the health of the region and providing oversight
