programs within communities that help children and families in Maine. This includes programs that primarily serve adults but also benefit families with children. Specifically, we are interested in understanding those programs' eligibility, counties or towns
served, funding sources, and services to inform the development and implementation of Maine’s Child Safety and Family Well-Being Plan.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
