Region 9 WCI has created networks and direct connects with our partner agencies throughout Western Wisconsin. WCI provides outreach, education, and connection to our partner agencies as well as sits on many different coordinating groups to not only share information but ensure cross resource and referrals. WCI operates a CSC group that has representatives from other agencies meeting quarterly, as well as a CSL (Child Support Liaison) funded on staff through the W2 contract for direct referrals and enrollments from the child support agency. This includes staff attending onsite monthly job fairs. These ongoing efforts and relationships allow WCI to not only effectively coordinate services but continue to ensure proper resource and referrals to other agencies in our region to best support customer needs and goals. Region 10 In our WDA, FSC employs child support liaisons who work to get Non-Custodial Parents engaged and enrolled in programs such as FSET and W-2. These staff work closely with the County Child Support agencies and staff, to generate appropriate program referrals and enrollments. We have Refugee case managers in our WDA who are connected to the RCA, RSS, and Wilson-Fish programs for our Refugees. FSET often becomes the case management program (and wrap-around services) of choice for these participants. We also work closely with Jewish Social Services to help new refugees get enrolled in our FSET program. One of our FSET Third Party Programs is Just Dane Re-Entry. Just Dane’s mission is to serve individuals who have justice involvement in reentered their communities. Just Dane has a very low recidivism rate compared to State and National standards. FSC works closely with the Just Dane staff to make and receive referrals and provide comprehensive, wrap-around FSET services. We are closely connected to the Homeless Services Consortium and attend meetings quarterly where partners like the Beacon, CAC, TRC, Salvation Army, and the City of Madison share information and plans related to homelessness services and housing opportunities. We have staff providing direct services at The Beacon, a daytime homeless resource center, several times a week. We also coordinate Orientation and Enrollment with Beacon and Second Harvest staff. We are also part of a Program Coordinating Committee in our WDA that focuses on housing needs and works in concert with HUD and CAC. Our FSET Family Stabilization Program team also works closely with and gets referrals from the Early Head Start program for parents seeking employment. 1/29/26, 10:30 AM State Plan WI FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wify26stateplan//index.html 13/230
