Please list all Family Support Services programs whose funding was either eliminated or reduced in FY 2021.

DCF Response: The Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP), Family Support Services account includes funding for many types of programs and services. After review of the most critical needs of children and families, and an assessment of the reduction in the number of youth involved with DCPP, the department reduced or eliminated programs and services that were underutilized, where the services were available through other procurement methods or were available by an alternate or more effective means of delivery.

Fiscal year 2021 reductions eliminated cost reimbursement funding for certain social services, treatment and other programs where funding is also available through the Children’s System of Care (CSOC), other Medicaid programs, or other State funded programs. For example, the step- down component of Family Preservation Services was eliminated, as services remain available to families through the Children’s System of Care and other programs. DCF right-sized and rebalanced budgets of Regional Diagnostic and Treatment Centers (RDTCs), adjusted flexible funding accounts utilized by local offices, and mentoring programs to reflect actual census of children in child protection/foster care. Funding for certain post-adoption counseling services was eliminated with planned inclusion of this service in the CSOC network. Children, youth, and families served by the department continued to receive necessary services.

Assemblywoman Murphy:

Please indicate the amounts disbursed, or anticipated to be disbursed, to each individual program under the Home Visitation Program for fiscal years 2018 through 2021. When was the last time the State increased reimbursement rates for Home Visitation Program service providers?

For fiscal years 2018 through 2021, please provide the following actual or projected data, by county, for the Home Visitation Program: expenditures segregated by funding source; the number of referrals; and the number of families enrolled in each evidence-based home visiting model.

DCF Response: Please see attached excel charts for fiscal year 2018 through 2021 Home Visitation program information.

The Home Visitation Program has not had an increase in federal Maternal and Infant Early Childhood Home Visitation (MIECHV) funding since its inception. The rates were determined by the need in the counties and the level of service allocated for each county and program. This was initially set by the needs assessment required by MIECHV. There was initial work by the federal agency to assist states along with the model developers to determine cost per family and that determined the allocation of funding. The providers were given a predetermined level of service based on the need of the community and that was multiplied by the cost per family of each model.

Assemblywoman Munoz:

Please provide a weekly count of the number of calls to the department’s Child Abuse Hotline over the past twelve months, displayed by the subject of the call (e.g. abuse, neglect, etc.).
