Safe Futures A Plan for Program Improvement - Department of ...

3 rd Quarter Report/Georgia's Reply: The annual request to the state legislature for additional staff will continue. This benchmark is
achieved.
4 th Quarter Report: Given the critical nature of the state's budget situation for Fiscal Year 2005, the Department has not been able to
submit a request for additional staff. However, since the needs for additional resources have not diminished the Department has
focused on improving the use of current resources. The DFCS budget package for SFY05 includes a major restructuring of state and
regional operations, with the intent of freeing up additional resources which can be placed in county offices. The implementation
team, which will fully define the plan, began its work in October, and the changes would be effective July 1, 2004 if legislative
approval is received.
