Human Services Case & Financial Management System

The Department of Human Services ("DHS") administers a wide set of programs supporting children, adults, families, and caregivers across the City. These programs rely on accurate case information, timely service authorizations, coordination with providers, structured financial workflows, and detailed state and federal reporting. DHS program areas include: Virginia Department of Social Services ("VDSS") Programs Temporary Assistance for Need Families ("TANF") / Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program & Employment & Training ("SNAPET") Virginia Initiative for Education & Work Program ("VIEW") Auxiliary Grants Adult Services Foster Care purchased services (non ‑ IV ‑ E) Virginia Enhanced Maintenance Assessment Tool ("VeMAT") Children's Services Act ("CSA") Purchased Services Special Welfare / Recoupments General Relief (indigent burial) Water Relief The City's current system supports core operational and financial activities such as: Maintaining client and household records Documenting service plans and assessments Managing CSA workflows, including Family Assessment and Planning Team ("FAPT") scheduling and Local Expenditure, Data and Reimbursement System ("LEDRS") extracts Processing purchase orders and vendor invoices Tracking accounts receivable and recoupments Allocating expenditures and managing cost codes Generating payment files for the City Treasurer Producing required CSA, VDSS, and City reports Generating Standard Payment Reports ("SPR") for Quality Assurance and Accountability ("QAA") reviews on a quarterly basis As these programs expand and reporting obligations evolve, DHS requires a more reliable, flexible, secure, and scalable cloud ‑ based solution that supports modern workflow standards, strengthens financial management capabilities, improves operational efficiency, and provides timely access to information for DHS caseworkers, supervisors, fiscal staff, program managers, and leadership.
