                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                    (Executive Budget: pp. 11-13)

The Council on Children and Families, comprised of the Commissioner
and Directors of the State's 13 health, education and human services
agencies, was established to develop a coordinated, cost efficient and
effective system of service delivery for children and families in New
York State.  In carrying out its mission, the Council oversees funding
simplification, coordinates interagency oversight and the elimination
of duplicate requirements, assists in accessing services for special
needs children, and coordinates planning among agencies involved in
early childhood services.

The Council is included in the Education, Labor and Family Assistance
appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Governor proposes an All Funds appropriation of $2,907,000 for
State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, reflecting a decrease in General Fund
support of $6,000.  The Executive proposes a continued Federal
appropriation of $1,100,000 to support the New York State Alliance for
Family Literacy.  This project, funded through a grant from the U.S.
Department of Education, is for the expansion and coordination of
services and resources statewide that improve family literacy.
