Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Family Preservation and Family Support (FP/FS) Service
Implementation Study--Community Level Data Collection.
OMB No.: New request.
Description: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA
93) established title IV-B, subpart 2 of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 62-628) to provide funds to states for the development of family
preservation and family support programs and services. Subpart 2,
Section 435 of OBRA 93 requires the Secretary of HHS to evaluate the
effectiveness of programs carried out under the legislation. This data
collection is being conducted to help meet this requirement and to
implement reauthorization of the legislation in 1999.
Data collection will ask local child welfare agencies and other
community service providers and agencies involved in planning and
implementation of title IV-B subpart 2 to provide information on the
programs and services funded, populations targeted, reform efforts
initiated, and the coordination of new or expanded programs with the
child welfare system and other existing providers. Both qualitative and
quantitative analyses will be completed to highlight the process states
employ to implement the legislation, coordinate with other funding
sources, develop new programs, and improve service delivery systems.
The analysis of this information will be used to provide feedback to
ACF necessary to determine the need for future policy guidance and
refine the nature and scope of technical assistance. The information
will also provide direct feedback to states and communities concerning
successful implementation strategies.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Govt., and Not-for-profit
institutions.
