Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
By having the major funders of services in Broward County, in a formal 501(c)(3) collaboration, meeting each month and receiving reports from the numerous, active committees and task forces, this project has proven its capability to create new partnerships among health, human service, education, juvenile justice and other related agencies. Funding in the amount of $150,000 has been included in the Department of Children and Families' budget for the past three years. This request includes this funding as well as an increase of $100,000. |

Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
These partnerships support interagency planning, budgeting, and resource allocation, creating a higher return on investment than results obtained by each agency acting alone. This is especially critical since residents needing help from these systems most often require a broad array of services offered by different agencies. Strategies may include co-location of resident service points, sharing of information across computer networks to avoid both fragmentation and duplication of services, and the development of individual Success Plans for each client, with clear interagency roles. The increase in funding will enable the Coordinating Council to better research needs and provide community outreach for even better partnerships. The Coordinating Council was chosen by the new Broward School Readiness Coalition, under 411.01 F.S., as its administrative entity. This allows a cost effective, existing infrastructure to support this important new state initiative. This project is a model that other areas of the state can adopt to achieve collaboration and coordination of efforts and funding. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Since this project does not deliver services directly, outcomes are measured by the formation of new alliances and partnerships, interagency client service arrangements and other ways of measuring the whole of services becoming greater than the sum of its parts. It is clear that clients (students, patients, welfare recipients, persons in the justice system, etc.) will achieve better outcomes (jobs, academic success, improved health, etc.) when multiple agencies work together on their behalf. Since each agency keeps its own statistics, there is no way to measure the impact of each service improvement, but overall improved outcomes can be measured. |
