Ronda Brown, Economic Support Administrator, provided the Council members with a

handout pertaining to the Great Rivers Consortium (GRC). The Great Rivers Consortium

consists of 10 counties - Barron, Burnett, Chippewa, Douglas, Dunn, Eau Claire, Pierce,

Polk, St. Croix, and Washburn. With the implementation of the Consortium, there were

many changes regarding who the client should be contacting. One of the biggest changes

was the creation of the Call Center which is staffed by all counties that are part of the

GRC. There was discussion about services provided, cost saving to the county, and

staffing. The county still has the amount required to pay the state and only one staff has

been added to the Economic Support Unit to assist with the Affordable Care Act. When

consumers call in, regardless of where the agent is located, the caller receives consistent

services. Economic Support works closely with the ADRC when clients are seeking

financial eligibility for Family Care.
