Abstract:

Working in conjunction with the Genesee/Orleans Youth Bureau and with the Genesee and Orleans County Departments of Human Services, CGR coordinated their joint integrated planning project, and helped develop a comprehensive vision of the strengths, resources and services Genesee and Orleans County already had in place and those that needed to be enhanced to maintain sufficient resources for children and families.

The study centered on six major themes or focus areas: economic security, physical and emotional health, education, citizenship, family, and community. Among other things, the study focused on the development of community assets needed by both children and families.
