Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve $14,122.00 from Emergency Placement Funding.
These funds are intended to temporarily assist The Department of Social Services in addressing identified placement needs for children in the custody of the agencies who are awaiting a Medicaid leveled treatment placement. While children await the location of the placement, these funds can be used to prevent them from staying in a DSS office.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Increase equitable healthy outcomes and quality of life for all. Increase equitable outcomes through County operations and services. Expand and provide services that support residents across their entire lifespan.
Resource Persons: Maggie Clapp, Director, Department of Social Services, Bila Louima, Assistant Director, Department of Social Services, Margaret Faircloth, Assistant Director, Department of Social Services.
