He asked how much money in this program would rely on Smart Start funds. Health <br />Director Rosie Summers said that none of these efforts are funded by Smart Start Funding. The <br />Families in Focus Intensive Home Visiting is funded partially with Smart Start Funds and <br />partially with State funding. They are using the State funding for this program next year. The <br />local Smart Start board has indicated that they would pickup part of the funding that we are <br />losing from the State, as well as maintaining a constant level of funding for this program. There <br />will still be an overall shortfall. The staff is still looking into making up for this shortfall. <br />
