The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum (LCM) is to provide local social services districts (LSSD) with information regarding the availability of funds to develop or expand programs to provide intensive case services to sanctioned and other at-risk families who are eligible for TANF funded non-assistance services to identify and address factors that may contribute to noncompliance and secure engagement in appropriate work and work preparation activities. This LCM also includes instructions describing the plan submission and approval process for LSSDs to receive their respective allocations, a description of program goals and expected outcomes, and the corresponding reporting requirements. Allocations will be made available to districts beginning October 1, 2006 contingent upon OTDA plan approval.
