Project Description

Capped IV-E Allocations and Flexibility to Local Agencies: Children in experimental sites who have a maltreatment finding and require services beyond investigation will be served under a community-based privatized service delivery system in which lead agencies have capped allocations and flexible use of IV-E dollars. Comparison group sites will not have flexible use of IV-E dollars.

Major goals are to improve access to services, reduce the length of stay in out-of-home care, reduce re-entry into the system, improve satisfaction ratings of services, and reduce variability in service delivery across sites.

Project duration: Jul 2000 - Dec 2005

Sites studied include Florida
