The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum (LCM) is to provide the guidelines for the Annual Plan Update (APU) for the required county Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP). These guidelines are being provided separately and simultaneously to county youth bureaus and county probation departments. The APU is due January 31, 2011. Through this APU, counties will report on any changes being implemented in their current CFSP and make any necessary changes to their CFSP for the remaining period of their plan. Please note the current 2007-2010 CFSP plan cycle is being extended through December 31, 2011, in order to implement CFSP improvements and efficiencies prior to the next required full submission. County youth bureaus and local departments of social services (LDSS) are required by statute to develop and submit to New York State local multi-year plans for the provision of services and the allocation of resources. This CFSP also includes the required PINS Diversion Plan which is developed by LDSS, county youth bureaus and county probation departments.
