Funders and policymakers assure that primary institutions are supported in their efforts to reach out to underserved populations, and to serve them effectively in a universal context, which often means special outreach efforts and enriched services.
Funders and policymakers assist providers of primary services and community coalitions in systematically identifying the barriers that prevent families from using services (including lack of transportation; the cost of obtaining services; concerns about safety; and some families' sense of exclusion), and support them in their efforts to remove such barriers.
Funders provide resources to providers of primary services and community coalitions in their efforts to provide information, including directories of services and supports, that will reach families that are most at risk and most excluded.
Policymakers make sure that their regulations encourage multiple entry points for children and families to obtain help from institutions providing primary services.
