p. 1. A. Identify the strategies that contributed to the achievement of the goals
Current Narrative:
Aided by advocacy efforts with Alabama legislators, ADRS continued to benefit from state level financial support that enabled matching of all available federal award dollars. Furthermore, ADRS was successful in its strategy to pursue additional federal dollars through re-allotment. With financial footing secured, ADRS also took steps to ensure that services continue to be available on an equitable and timely basis across the state. For example, data was analyzed to identify high-demand, low output caseloads. Additional resources were then aligned to support areas of identified need. Caseloads were re-assigned or more evenly distributed to accommodate the work of serving potentially eligible individuals. Where caseload sizes were at their largest, 7 new counselor FTE slots were allotted.
