| Program/Policy 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. |
