Information for this publication was obtained by surveying the 39 grantees/40 counties participating in the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Family Service System Reform, FSSR, Initiative in Spring 2002.

This publication is a comprehensive assessment of the activities and achievements of FSSR funded collaboratives in Pennsylvania. The purpose of this assessment was to do the following:

• provide information to the Commonwealth on the range of achievements and impacts FSSR has produced;
• describe how FSSR collaboratives have connected with other local community partnership efforts that have similar goals;
• identify the effect FSSR collaboratives have on leveraging resources at the community level;
• provide county specific FSSR collaborative profiles to highlight significant activity and potential marketing information for local use; and
• indicate the support needed to further enhance community collaboration and achieve better outcomes for children and their families.
