The employees are passionate, dedicated and satisfied by their work because of the positive impact they make in the lives of others. Background : Georgia Community Support and Solutions began doing business as the Community Programs Department of the Marcus Center/Marcus Institute in 1994. The Marcus Institute merged with Kennedy Krieger Institute in 1998. The Marcus Institute refocused its mission to serve children, specifically, in a center-based setting. The Community Programs Department was serving children and adults in their communities so the need to evolve into another agency was apparent. Under the organization known as The Marcus Center, Georgia Community Support and Solutions (GCSS) became its own private non-profit agency in July 1999.

When placement in the community or with the family is unsuccessful, the result is that the child or adolescent is served in a state hospital, which is an extremely expensive form of treatment. The Division proposes the establishment of 7 Case Expeditor positions to manage children with high intensity service needs. The Case Expeditors would monitor the movement of children through out-of-home placements, with the goal of overcoming barriers that slow children and adolescents in returning to families or community based placements.
