1 st Quarter Report: The database has not been developed. Thus, studies on gaps in available resources have not been determined.<br />
The internet and hard copy resources currently in use may be adequate to initiate a gap analysis. A comprehensive list <strong>of</strong> county-bycounty<br />
resources needs to be compiled and distributed.<br />
Actions for next quarter: 1. A listing <strong>of</strong> resources both in hard copy and via the internet will be started. 2. A visual representation <strong>of</strong><br />
available resources will be developed along with a paper analysis to determine service gaps and geographical areas in need <strong>of</strong> service.<br />
2 nd Quarter Report: The following resources are social services resources are on-line: Referral Central hosted by the Georgia<br />
Association for Homes and <strong>Services</strong> for Children (www.referralcentral.net )<br />
This resource is a statewide database <strong>of</strong> First Placement Best Placement providers, Shelters, Family Preservation providers, counseling<br />
services, psychiatric hospitals, foster and group homes and other services. The complete Promoting Safe and Stable Families guide is<br />
available for on-line viewing at www.caresolutions.com.<br />
PSSF's service area covers the entire state with prevention, intervention, preservation, reunification and adoption services.<br />
Additionally, the Division <strong>of</strong> Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases has a comprehensive listing <strong>of</strong> its<br />
community service boards, private providers and health departments. Since, there is not a singular database, the information from all<br />
sources needs to be merged with existing paper database information to determine service gaps<br />
