BACKGROUND•
For four years, the department has been successful in saving
State Foster Care Aid Funds through the Family Preservation and
Support Program. This project provides intensive, family
centered, home-based services geared toward strengthening
families and preventing placements outside the home. The program
is highly successful. In the last two years the program has
helped 75% of the children remain with their families and thereby
avoided more costly and less affective placement outside the
home. These contractors provide either family support services or
intensive, in-home, family-based support services under the
Family Preservation Project and have done so for several years .
