The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors proclaimed August 2026 Child Support Awareness Month during its Aug. 18 meeting and heard from Stacy Costa, interim director of the Humboldt Trinity Child Support Agency.
Costa told the board the agency provides no-cost services to establish paternity and obtain child support orders, can modify existing orders and perform DNA testing when needed. She said the local office performed 77 genetic tests in fiscal year 2025 and distributed $10,238,121 directly to families in Humboldt and Trinity counties. "We can help parents and guardians to get child support court orders for free, often without needing to go to court," Costa said.
Supervisors thanked the agency for work that staff and advocates say reduces child poverty and strengthens family stability. The proclamation cites national child-support program figures included in the text read at the meeting (national collections of $29.5 billion in FY2025) and commends local staff for their community service.
