public and private non-pr<strong>of</strong>it entities and county departments interested in developing or enhancing community service resources for<br />
children and families. More than 200 agency representatives in attendance were provided information on the PSSF Program and<br />
funding process, federal and state funding objectives and desired outcomes for children and families served by the state <strong>of</strong> Georgia.<br />
Relevant information was shared on the CFSR process, findings and recommendations for program improvement, with particular<br />
