Expansion of UW 211 to other counties where this service is available will involve finding additional funding. Maintenance of this
resource is hoped for at the current level for the next fiscal year. United Way is also reducing service.
3 rd Quarter: Expansion of UW 211 is also dependent upon United Way's capacity to expand their resource to other parts of the state.
Anticipated effects on intervention strategies, based on state budget cuts, are not yet known. Efforts are being made to maintain these
strategies at the current funding levels.
2 nd Quarter Federal Response: How does the agency plan to accomplish these action steps? Is this achievable by the due date?
Georgia's Reply 3 rd Quarter: Maintaining what's already in place in this time of budget cuts is viewed as an achievement.
2 nd Quarter Federal Response: These action steps are essential in keeping track of progress. Will these activities just not be
accomplished if the funding is not achieved? What is the State's contingency plan (if any)?
Georgia's Reply 3 rd Quarter: Continued improvements and expansion will be made when/if opportunity permits. Full completion of
most of these action steps, as written, involves expanding each step throughout the state and is dependent upon increased funding. At
present, it is more realistic to try to maintain what is in place, while being alert to and acting on any expansion opportunities that may
occur.
Georgia’s Reply 6 th Quarter: Georgia remains in a severe budget crisis. As state agencies are required to continue cutting programs,
this department is fortunate that funding for key programs serving children has not been cut.
