| Objectives |
- Information Exchange: Provide a forum for exchange of information on programs, eligibility criteria, services, location and dates of programs and the availability of bilingual English/Spanish speaking staff. (Especially significant since many migrant programs hire seasonal staff to serve migrant client population who initially are unaware of their counterparts in other agencies or the services they provide.)
- Identification of Unmet Needs: The council can collectively identify problematic service gaps and/or unmet needs. After identification and documentation of service gaps, council members can restructure their programs to meet the need or the responsible agency can be alerted to the problem.
- Client Referral System: Through informal contacts between council members, the development of an Agency Resource Guide and a preseason migrant service providers meeting, referral system is established which insures that migrants in need receive expedient and efficient attention by the agency or agencies empowered to meet that need.
