of community-based Family Visitation Centers. This expanded notice of fund availability will continue to increase judicial support for
community-based visitation and reunification services statewide.
As a result, the number of community-based Family Visitation Centers has increased from five centers in FFY 2002 to thirteen centers
in 2003. A key IV-B-2 funding objective is to increase not only the frequency but also the quality of visitation between parents,
children and siblings in foster care.
3 rd Quarter Report: Achieved. Georgia exceeded (by more than double) its goal to provide five (5) visitation sites prior to the 2 nd
quarter report. It continues in its efforts to extend and improve visitation opportunities for children and their families. Towards this
end, revisions have been made to the service guidelines for PSSF funded Supervised Family Visitation Centers. Revisions include
specific guidelines on Provider qualifications, staffing, the development of Visitation Plans, Center Environment and Accessibility,
Supervision, Monitoring and Case Management. (See Attachment PSSF RFP FFY 2003-2004).
