| Types of Collaborations Present with Local Community Resources |
VCRHYP agencies collaborate broadly with state child welfare, with local landlords and business leaders (the business community helps teach life skills classes), and of course with other VCRHYP members through regular (quarterly) state-wide TLP meetings. |
| Aspect of Program that is Innovative or Unique |
VCRHYP is a Statewide Coalition with 2 FYSB TLP grants supporting TLP programs in 8 seperate agencies. Our greatest strength is that we have madem a Statewide Coalition approach successful over 25 years. |
| Program's Biggest Challenge |
Lack of funding for 8 seperate programs with more areas in the state needing services. |
