CHILDREN AND EAMUT SERVICES REFORM
PROJECT
Chairperson:
Dorothy V. Harris, Director for Children & Youth
225-4160
The Children and Family Services Reform Proj-
ect was established by the Governor in June 1988
(Executive Order 01.01.1988.11). It is a pilot proj-
ect designed to create a model children and family
services system.
With the assistance of the Subcabinet for Chil-
dren and 'ibuth, the Project will develop policies
and procedures to coordinate interagency planning
and budgeting for all State programs concerned
with the needs of young children and adolescents
who are abused, neglected, or abandoned, or emo-
tionally disturbed, handicapped, or pregnant. Co-
ordination also will extend to programs for young
people who are runaways or substance abusers, as
well as those who are dependent, homeless, habit-
ually truant, ungovernable, or delinquent. Addi-
tionally, coordination will include programs for
youth who are at-risk from these conditions and for
their families.
The Project will review State statutes and regu-
lations on children and family services and propose
changes to use all available government and private
resources for essential services for children and fam-
ilies.
In selected areas, the Project will devise and
implement new local service delivery systems. It
then will develop plans for extending those systems
promptly throughout the State with the
Governor's approval.
