Re: statewide family support efforts

Hi Bill, 

The Family Resource Coalition is a great source of information on family
support programs nationwide. As part of the National Resource Center for
Family Centered Practice (with folks at the U of Iowa School of Social
Work), the FRC has federal funding to develop and maintain an extensive
data base on family support programs. Their number, in Chicago, is
312-341-0900. ]
