These positions would be Orange County Health Department <br />employees supported by funds from the EHS grant. They would receive formal <br />supervision from the Health Department and day -to -day supervision from EHS staff. <br />They would be based at the EHS facility in Chapel Hill. Central to the overall EHS <br />proposal is full collaboration with all appropriate resource providers in the community. <br />Family service coordinators will function just like our child service coordinators and <br />intensive home visitors do now. These positions would be fully supported by CHTO. <br />
