In an area where there has traditionally been many different agencies involved in pr6viding services, this planning process and data Couldhelp coordinate aocial service~ planning in a county. It gives the opportunity to use common data, common priocities, and a once a year plan to measure all social programs against and to help make funding decisions. Even though it is primarily geared to DSS plans and programs, it can be applicable to many other social programs. Also,. DSSs are by law designed to function as the, or one of the, central social serv{ce agancies in a county. The staff will be working with most DSS staffs duzing November and December to get the basic data and decision making information gathered. Family Planning The COGwill receive the fully executed contract between COG and DHS this week amd forward subcontracta to the counties. We needed to have the finalized budgets to include them in the subcontracts. Local Health Department~' first quarter advances should be forthcoming the month of November, and the expenditure reports have been submitted, although first quarter expenditures are still needed from Mecklenburg and Union Counties. The state has suggested that we add a par~ time person in family planning to help with some of the more. technical/medical aspects of the family planning program for the cemainder of the year. The COG will consider this request in mid November. Since there is a serious question as to whether the femily planning program will remain in the COG next year, or be put in the DHR regional office, it is not expected that approval will be more than for the remainder of the fiscal year.
