Durham County highlights $15.3 million in child‑support collections in proclamation
Summary
The board proclaimed August 2024 Child Support Awareness Month and cited $15,300,254.40 collected and dispersed in state fiscal year 2023–24 covering approximately 7,576 cases; county staff described outreach and e‑courts rollout.
Commissioner Jacobs presented a proclamation recognizing Child Support Awareness Month and read a state‑year figure showing Durham’s collections. The proclamation states that "in state fiscal year 2023, 2024, $15,300,254.40 was collected and dispersed providing support for the children in approximately 7,576 cases." (text from the proclamation.)
Child‑support staff told commissioners the office has been active in community outreach, claimed the county ranked among top allocators in the state across multiple months, and promoted an upcoming public event in the Human Services Building on Aug. 22. Staff also noted recent e‑courts adoption and coordination with the court system.
Why it matters: the collections figure reflects the county’s enforcement and administrative activity that directly funds child support disbursements; staff said those dollars support thousands of children and families and encouraged public awareness and participation in upcoming events.
