The purpose of the Assessing Models of Coordinated Services for Low-Income Children and Their Families (AMCS) project is to understand how states and local communities are coordinating services across sectors to most efficiently and effectively serve low-income children and their families. We propose to conduct descriptive case studies to collect information about innovative coordinated services approaches. We will collect information on up to six (6) coordinated services approaches through semi-structured interviews with coordinated services approach leadership and staff, and focus groups with parents.
