Collectively, these agencies compose a forum of resource and service providers in areas such as community development, health reform, alcohol and drug abuse, hunger and nutrition policy, and legal services. The forum provides news and policy analysis and research summaries. Users also can access information about model programs and strategies, technical assistance resources, available funding, effective management methods, and tools for strategic planning. Founded six years ago, HandsNet can be accessed using a personal computer and modem. To receive a copy of the Forum's Weekly Digest, listing a cross-section of the latest news and resources available online, call or write Handsnet.
