Abstract:
This project will build upon the State’s successful Family Support Program and the efforts for redesigning the long-term support systems to implement a one-stop center. The One-Stop Family Support Project will work with a racially and ethnically diverse community in Madison where many families are experiencing challenges with long-term and family supports. The project will be guided by a family support advisory structure and will also work to duplicate core project elements in similar Wisconsin communities. Outcomes will be monitored and evaluated throughout the project period
