Direct peers

• Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County: Florida's largest and longest-running independent special district created under Section 125.901 that funds children's services through dedicated property tax revenue. Closest organizational analog to CSC Leon in terms of legal structure, funding mechanism, and grant-making model.
• Children's Services Council of Okaloosa County: Florida Children's Services Council that funds youth and family programs through a dedicated property tax. Comparable to CSC Leon in structure, statutory basis, and dependent population profile.
• Children's Services Council of Martin County: Florida special district operating under the same Section 125.901 statute as CSC Leon, funding youth and family services through dedicated property taxes. Most directly comparable peer in terms of scale and statutory mandate.
• Children's Services Council of Broward County: Independent special district funded by ad valorem taxation that invests in programs for children, youth, and families in Broward County. Directly comparable to CSC Leon in governance structure, funding source, and portfolio approach.

Regional players
