Preservation and Reunification Programs

The Department is seeking information, ideas and feedback from families, service providers and other interested parties in the design, part or in whole, and potential implementation of a single preservation and reunification program. The goal of this RFI is to broaden the Department’s view and process on the delivery of preservation and reunification services to improve upon the following: • Provision of an evidence-based preservation/reunification service; • Provision of equitable, seamless, and timely services to all families referred; • Delivery of integrated services whenever possible; • Intensification of services at point of removal to reduce out of home stays instead of terminating engagement in open preservation services (if open); • Meeting of federal permanency timelines, and • Improvement of client outcomes.
