BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In an effort to prevent families from entering the foster care system, Children and Family Services Bureau (CFS)
would contracts with organizations that provide case managers who help families at risk of entering the child welfare
system get stabilized and avoid foster care. The community based case managers receive referrals of closed CFS
cases from the Children and Family Services Bureau and manage a caseload, helping families secure needed services,
improve family functioning, enhance child well-being and avoid further need for interaction with the department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
EHSD will be unable to provide much needed services to support children and families.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This contract supports all of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children ready
for and Succeeding in School"; 2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; 3)
"Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing"; and 5)
"Communities that are Safe and provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families," by providing various
services to children and families.
