Funding <strong>for</strong> expansion <strong>of</strong> this program to additional counties is unlikely <strong>for</strong> the next fiscal year. Because counties have just<br />
recently begun to work with family assessments and family team meetings in their hub communities, there is no database <strong>for</strong><br />
measuring the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> FTM. A measure <strong>for</strong> outcomes, planning and evaluation is nearing implementation. Because<br />
progress is based on number <strong>of</strong> families coming back into the system after case closure, it will probably be two to three years<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e there is a good database to work from.<br />
The first quarterly reporting by the nine hub counties was due in April 2003. This is the first <strong>of</strong> data collection on families served<br />
through this initiative and will provide data <strong>for</strong> comparison <strong>of</strong> how many <strong>of</strong> these families later come into the CPS system as<br />
compared with non-hub families with new reports <strong>of</strong> CPS within a year <strong>of</strong> closure. Data will also include data on families living<br />
outside the hub community who had a family assessment and family team meeting.<br />

4th Quarter Federal Response: The State indicates that funding to expand this project to additional counties is unlikely. However,<br />
the PIP goal is 9 counties. How many counties implemented so far? If it is 9 counties, then it appears that the State has met their goal.<br />
5th Quarter Report: Achieved. The action <strong>for</strong> "strategy development, resource development, partnership building and outcome<br />
planning" in the 9 counties has been accomplished. State <strong>of</strong>fice and the hub counties are working on ways to identify local support to<br />
help maintain CPPC activities in the current hub counties.<br />
