11-OCFS-LCM-10: Guidelines and Instructions for Preparing the County Child and Family Services Plan
The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum is to provide the guidelines for the required county Child and Family Services Plan for the five-year plan cycle covering the period January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2016. These guidelines for the county plan replace those used for the previous three-year county plan. All counties are now required to submit a single county plan. These guidelines represent the next step in the development of plan guidelines that are consistent with the operational policy of the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). Local Departments of Social Services (LDSS) and County Youth Bureaus, where they operate, are required by statute to develop and submit to New York State a local multi-year plan for the provision of services and the allocation of resources. In August 2004, legislation was enacted to combine the consolidated services plan and the county comprehensive plan into one required plan, the Child and Family Services Plan, to be submitted by all counties.
