The Council accomplishes its mandates through several different avenues. Some
activities are carried out by Council staff. Others are accomplished by partnering
with other established agencies and organizations to address areas of mutual
concern. Finally, the Council identifies gaps in service delivery and provides sub-
grants to agencies and organizations to develop and implement demonstration
projects that address ways to fill the gaps. The grant projects must target one of
the areas of emphasis listed in the state plan and set measurable outcomes that
relate to the goals developed by the Council.
