The MSFWs’ Partner Agency group will continue to meet quarterly and work toward joint community event planning and to increase our outreach capacity via the partners. The state will continue to collaborate with the NFJP grantees and the local WIBS. The state will exchange information with these groups as well as to seek inclusion in the establishment of the local WIB and NFJP MOU. The state will work toward identifying the two (2) NFJP grantees and their respective directors who are operating components of this program in WV and work with them to streamline and coordinate services in a seamless manner.
Goal: Develop an inclusive partner agency group to serve the MSFWs and their families.
