FFCA has been very fortunate to use a regional and state involvement that enhances support for federal policies and providing technical assistance to help facilitate effective advocacy at the state and local levels. Instead of a national or centrally headquartered approach, the use of local, state and regional affiliate leadership draws in diverse experts from child welfare, housing, economics, early childhood, social work, family development and community building with public policy experts.
