Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 25BCC041 for the Department of Social Services to recognize Emergency Placement funding of $75,919.00 for Children in Agency Custody
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: Goal 2: Health and Well-being for All which decreases health disparities within the community and Goal 3: Safe and Secure Community to improve outcomes for vulnerable children, youth, and adults.
Resource Persons: Maggie Cveticanin, Director, Department of Social Services, Valery Dambreville, Deputy Director, Department of Social Services, Margaret Faircloth, Assistant Director, Department of Social Services.
