- (1) Alabama WIC agencies are providing services in all of the 67 counties that are administered through the local clinics. The Affirmative Action Plan will be used as a method to reallocate existing funds, expand the WIC Program if additional funds are received, and target benefits to priorities of participants highest in need. The reallocations and expenses will be to the neediest one-third. All of these efforts have been made to increase the access points in geographically strategic areas of the state.
- (2) Selection criterion for local agencies is based on the availability of health and administrative services. Selection is made on the priorities listed in 7 CFR §246.5(d). Private agencies will be reviewed for civil rights compliance.
