6 th Quarter Report: Funding for the CPPC pilot was not continued; however, counties that piloted this project are maintaining<br />
community involvement. Much was learned from the CPS component that piloted use <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong> exp<strong>an</strong>ded family assessment <strong>an</strong>d the<br />
family team meeting. This knowledge will be useful in the development <strong>of</strong> future policies <strong>an</strong>d procedures.<br />
6 th Quarter Federal Response: B4: One <strong>of</strong> the Action Steps is to develop 'a more thorough assessment <strong>of</strong> family strengths <strong>an</strong>d needs,<br />
particularly regarding the presence <strong>of</strong> subst<strong>an</strong>ce abuse <strong>an</strong>d domestic violence.' The State has reported this as achieved -- please<br />
provide ACF with a copy <strong>of</strong> the assessment to document completion. Additionally, has the State determined the 'number <strong>of</strong> CPS cases<br />
in CPPC hub communities with in-depth family assessments <strong>an</strong>d family team meetings' - one <strong>of</strong> the Benchmark items.<br />
7 th Report: B2 Action Step was to develop family assessment, which includes policy for the assessment <strong>of</strong> mental health, subst<strong>an</strong>ce<br />
abuse <strong>an</strong>d domestic violence needs <strong>an</strong>d prevents premature case closure. This assessment was developed <strong>an</strong>d was part <strong>of</strong> the pilot in<br />
the CPPC hub communities in nine counties. Funds were not available to exp<strong>an</strong>d this assessment process to additional counties. To<br />
help support the pl<strong>an</strong>, vendors were used to complete the exp<strong>an</strong>ded assessment <strong>an</strong>d the family team meeting that followed. Currently<br />
CPPC is being reestablished in the nine pilot counties. Although, the exp<strong>an</strong>ded assessment is not in use statewide, it was developed<br />
prior to the projected completion date. The mission, values <strong>an</strong>d beliefs supporting this policy has been incorporated in the “Authority<br />
to Intervene” training which was provided statewide <strong>an</strong>d also in the redesign <strong>of</strong> the new worker training. The impact <strong>of</strong> this policy will<br />
be measured in part by ch<strong>an</strong>ges in the Key Indicators in Perform<strong>an</strong>ce (KIP), which is monitored monthly.<br />
