Abstract	To promote children's healthy development and give them opportunities to flourish, families need a wide range of support services. These services are often disconnected from each other. Early care and education (ECE) has a particularly fragmented system (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2018). Systems with myriad processes and requirements, such as separate enrollment processes that ask families to give the same information to multiple providers, place a burden on families--a burden that can be particularly hard on those in crisis (Adams and Heller 2015; Adams et al. 2015; Cavadel et al. 2017). A growing number of states and localities are working to address the many needs of families living in poverty by coordinating their services and funding streams. The Assessing Models of Coordinated Services (AMCS) project, sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in DHHS, aims to improve understanding of approaches that are designed to coordinate ECE with other health and human services, such as those aiming to promote positive outcomes for family economic security, health, mental health, food and nutrition, and housing. To understand the features of state and local coordinated services approaches, the AMCS research team conducted a national scan. The scan is a first look at the characteristics and potential models of coordinated services at the state and local levels. AMCS intends this overview to inform the field about ways that state- and local-level approaches coordinate systems and services for families. This scan was not designed to be representative, and notably, coordinated services approaches without publicly available information might not have been identified. Additionally, about one-quarter of the coordinated services approaches identified through the scan did not respond to the research team's request to confirm details about their activities. As a result, findings presented in this report are preliminary and not generalizable. (ERIC).
