§ 1-9-110. Community-based services and care for deprived children--Grants and contracts
A. 1. The Department of Human Services shall, to the extent of funds available, directly or by grant or contract, develop and implement a diversity of community-based services and community-based care for children who are alleged or adjudicated deprived. Community-based services are prevention and remedial services including, but not limited to:
2. If a child is placed with a noncustodial parent, the noncustodial parent's home shall be construed to be the child's home community. Community-based care is care in a foster home, group home, community residential center or similar nonsecure facility consistent with the individualized treatment needs of the child and provided, whenever practicable, in or near a child's home community.
B. The Department shall establish procedures for the letting of grants or contracts, and the conditions and requirements for the receipt of such grants or contracts, for community-based services and community-based care. A copy of the procedures shall be made available to any member of the general public upon request.
C. Requests for proposals developed by the Department shall be based upon documented client and service needs and identified priorities. The request for proposals shall clearly identify the program or services requirements, the population to be served, and performance expectations. The agency shall adopt clear, written guidelines to ensure uniformity in the management, monitoring, and enforcement of contracts for services. If in-state private providers are unable or unwilling to respond to the proposal, then out-of-state providers should be encouraged to respond.
E. Any state-funded grant or contract for the establishment of community residential care or treatment facilities for children shall require, as a condition for receipt of such grant or contract, documented assurance from the agency or organization establishing such facility that appropriate arrangements have been made for providing the educational services to which residents of the facility are entitled pursuant to state and federal law.
F. The Department is authorized to, and shall, enter into cooperative agreements with the Department of Juvenile Justice for the use by both Departments of existing community-based programs, management information, and client tracking systems, and other shared resources as deemed necessary or appropriate by both Departments.
2. Such subsidy shall be made on a per capital basis not to exceed One Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($1,200.00) per year and shall be expended in twelve (12) monthly payments beginning July 1 of the fiscal year. Nothing in this section shall preclude an individual from receiving federal matching funds for which he would otherwise be eligible.
