Through the Department of Human Services,
Minority Youth and Families Initiative, the DMC Resource Center provided
technical support services to the demonstration sites of Woodbury and
Polk Counties involved in Iowa's "crossover" efforts (crossover refers to children and youth involved in child welfare or juvenile justice who may also be involved in both sysems). Some technical assistance may be available to community
agencies to better serve minority families and children throughout the
state. As an aid to assessment of organizational capacity and need we
have collected some organizational assessment tools which may be accessed
