<br />- City Manager’s Report -
<br />
<br />17 - 390 - Adoption of an ordinance accepting Children’s Services Act supplemental
<br />funding in the amount of $189,394 from the Virginia Department of Social Services
<br />into the FY 2017 Children’s Services Act fund.
<br />
<br />Background:
<br />
<br /> The Children's Services Act (CSA) is now the name for a law enacted in 1993 that
<br />establishes a single state pool of funds to purchase services for at- risk youth and their
<br />families. The state funds, combined with local community funds, are managed by local
<br />
<br />interagency teams who plan and oversee services to youth.
<br />
<br /> It is the intention of this law to create a collaborative system of services and funding
<br />that is child-centered, family-focused and community-based when addressing the
<br />strengths and needs of troubled and at-risk youths and their families in the
<br />Commonwealth.
<br />
<br /> Services and funding must be consistent with the Commonwealth's policies of
<br />preserving families and providing appropriate services in the least restrictive environment,
<br />while protecting the welfare of children and maintaining the safety of the public.
<br />
<br /> Services are designed to identify and intervene early with young children and their
<br />families who are at risk of developing emotional or behavioral problems, or both, due to
<br />environmental, physical or psychological stress.
