One of the main criteria for selection of a region is the current level of cross-agency collaboration within the region. Since this is a limited TA grant, the selected two regions have already established cross agency collaboration and the goal is that the regions further develop collaboration in order to sustain and provide model practices for other regions of our state as well as other states.
The two regions that were selected are:
Region 3: Assumption, Lafourche, St. Charles, St. James, St. John, St. Mary, Terrebonne
Region 4: Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, Vermilion.
The regions are a combination of LA Dept of Health and LA Workforce Commission regions.
