process to solicit evidence-based and promising practice proposals from community providers on an ongoing basis. An internal review body within DCYF is comprised of representatives from Child Welfare, Juvenile Corrections, Children’s Behavioral Health, and Management and Budget. This body reviews and scores proposals and recommends the selection(s) to the Department Director for finalization. For the most part, the programs funded through IV-B, parts 1 and 2, have been supported for many years continuously. Recently, with the development of the Family Care Community Partnerships, funding from selected family preservation and support programs in IV-B, parts 1 and 2 were pooled with other funds to support the solicitation in the RFP for FCCP programming. The IV-B, part 2 funds supporting Project Family and the Juvenile Justice Host Home Project in Washington County were transitioned from agency specific programming to provide available funding for the type of service represented by these two programs. This is part of DCYF’s larger objective for establishing an Integrated Family and Community System of Care with lead agencies providing a nexus for community-based networks of formal and informal supports and resources. These two programs are particularly suited for this transition phase, given that they provide prevention-oriented services to avoid having cases opened to the Family Service Units. CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICE CONTINUUM – The Department of Children, Youth and Families provides publicly funded programming throughout a continuum of services for the population of children and families it serves which include child welfare, children’s behavioral health and juvenile corrections. All of these services are provided on a statewide basis. On an annual basis, the Department provides services to approximately 9-thousand children/families. Through other federal initiatives; e.g., the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) program, the Department has integrated the work of the Children’s Trust Fund to engage a statewide network of primary, secondary and tertiary child abuse and neglect prevention programs. Our Intake Supervisor is becoming more familiar with these services as the Department looks for strong prevention-focused support programs to assist in diverting families from DCYF involvement, where appropriate. Funding through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act as amended by the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003 supports a co-location nurse liaison from an Early Intervention program, working with DCYF’s child protective services to implement a regularized referral process for children under the age of three to an Early Intervention program or other appropriate early child development and family support program. All federally funded programs complement the state’s continuum which includes prevention and early intervention programming for family preservation and support; substitute care living arrangements which include regular and relative foster care homes, as well as 77
therapeutic foster homes, shelters, group homes, community-based networks, residential counseling centers and residential treatment centers; supervised living apartments and independent living apartments; and after care programming which includes subsidized adoption, probation services, and end of sentence case management support for youth leaving the Rhode Island Training School. Wraparound case management structures and programs, funded by DCYF, are available for children and families as a prevention/intervention service as well as aftercare supports. A description of the continuum of services is included in the appendices. TITLE IV-B, SUBPART 1 – CHANGE IN PROGRAM PURPOSE The enactment of the Child and Family Services Improvement Act of 2006 establishes certain changes in the program purpose of Title IV-B, subpart 1 as it relates to child welfare services. The new program purpose is to protect and promote the welfare of all children; prevent the neglect, abuse or exploitation of children; support at-risk families through services which allow children to remain with their families or return to their families in a timely manner; promote the safety, permanence and well-being of children in foster care and adoptive families; and provide training, professional development and support to ensure a well-qualified workforce. Service Descriptions: Funding from Title IV-B, subpart 1 is used to support six programs relating to child welfare outcomes promoting safety, permanence and well-being. These programs are: Family Care Community Partnerships (FCCP) – this program provides emergency and stabilization services for families in crisis where children are at risk for removal from home due to concerns relating to child abuse, neglect, and dependency. Services include case management and crisis intervention 24/7. This program offers services for up to 120 days for families. Services are statewide within the FCCPs. Capacity is anticipated to be 200 at any given time. Adoption Preparation and Support – this program began as a federal demonstration project funded through ACF and is being continued through Title IV-B, subpart 1 funds. Services assist families in preparation for adoption of DCYF involved children, and provide ongoing support including counseling; advocacy; therapeutic recreation, parent education, and crisis intervention as necessary to assist and preserve adoptive families. Adoption Rhode Island – this program works solely with DCYF as the adoption exchange information and referral program. ARI provides matching services for waiting children and interested families, and also provides support services for children waiting for adoption. The program has expanded to provide additional support for the Department in development of the Regional Permanency Support Teams. This function will provide necessary technical assistance and support for workers to be able to make the best and most informed decisions; e.g., gathering information from the case record to search for potential family connections and 78
