Local coalitions ensure the availability of targeted screening and monitoring programs, including those established under Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT).
Local coalitions work to expand public funding for early intervention services.
Local coalitions monitor programs and outcomes for an entire population, neighborhood, or community. They scan what is available to serve and support children and families at biological risk of poor outcomes and what is missing in terms of child care, family support, youth development, housing, neighborhood safety, and other essential services and supports. They take steps to fill in the gaps.
Local coalitions work with residents and agencies to keep funders and policymakers informed of barriers to effective action that require solutions at the funding, policy, or regulatory level.
