The program has two components: Subpart 1 is for
child welfare services; Subpart 2 is for family preservation

state and agency personnel to identify the adequacy of services
and ways to improve them.

combined for future funding and goals. These goals include:continuing
partnerships with other Alaska tribes, the State of Alaska, and
other relevant agencies;

state, tribal, public, and non-profit agencies in order to improve
family services; enhancing and increasing the intensity of resources

for communities to increase their knowledge of available services;
offering more accessible services and service providers; assisting
communities with assessing and addressing their unique needs;improving
