Subtotal Adoption and Guardianship Subsidy Program
CFSA’s approach to the gap-closing is one that focuses on core practice, aligning funding and work where they are demonstrated to be needed. Thus: • The approach CFSA took to the gap closing effort was to focus on core practice, ensuring services improve child safety, permanence, and well-being and strengthening families needing support. • Making reductions in indirect service area that will have only a minimal impact on services for children, youth and families. • Budget reductions are shared internally and externally. • CFSA continues to analyze contracted services expenditures, seeking to understand variances in price for comparable services so that is can make adjustments (standardize) in the various placement types. • CFSA will achieve a $1.3 million reduction in contracts with the communitybased Collaboratives, aligning resources with historic utilization and service need trends. • The new adoption subsidy mark is in line with historical levels and projected need. • Proposal allocates funding more in line with historical figures and potential in the future to maintain services rather than disrupt services with large increases one year and decreases the next. The “Gap-Closing Initiatives” narrative in the budget documents does not reflect the changes which were actually made/proposed. The narrative will be corrected in the budget that goes to the Hill.
