PSSF resources have been strategically invested to enhance DFCS's capacity to identify and meet the needs of families at the community level and to expand state-funded child protection and placement service programs. Georgia PSSF funding is used to support DFCS priorities and support children and families most at risk.

Contracts with local providers throughout the state make services available to children and families based on the State’s priorities and coinciding local needs assessments. For more information and a list of current PSSF service providers please visit our website at www. pssfnet.
