Funding Sources and Cost Sharing
Stop! If you are currently working on or planning to
move forward with sharing data in your region, take a mo-
ment to pause and ensure you are thinking about adopting
a regional data warehouse methodology. Contact your
regional partners to discuss this option. Decide if a data
warehouse could provide your stakeholders with savings
and flexibility moving forward. SHSGP, COPS and JAG
funds are available annually. Begin now to apply for those
funds in support of your project.

committees and sub-committees. Sending staff members
who do not understand or do not have the same goals will
be counterproductive and only interfere with your imple-
mentation goals and timeframe. Assign staff who are your
“can-do” progressive and positive employees and can meet
timelines to make things happen. For successful implemen-
tation you must include IT experts, Support Staff members
and Managers from your agencies. Let’s work toward a
goal of agencies joining a regional data sharing warehouse
by the year 2020.

sharing models that are currently in use. The use of these
documents can be introduced to your region and provide a
simple starting point. The subcommittee is also working to
