LEGISLATIVE ACTION
The Legislature provides $3,382,851,869 in All Funds support for the
Office of Children and Family Services, which reflects an increase of
$84,001,869 from the Executive submission.
Legislative Reductions
The Legislature reduces by $65,800,000 the Executive`s proposed
$75,000,000 capital projects appropriation for the construction of a
new secure detention facility to replace the Harlem Valley Secure
Center and provides $9,200,000 for the costs associated with the
design and planning of secure and limited secure capacity.
Legislative Changes
The Legislature provides added support for programs providing services
to children and families, including youth development and delinquency
prevention, child advocacy centers, settlement houses, caseworker
education and training, services to runaway and homeless youth, child
welfare parent self-help and advisory councils, and the William B.
Hoyt Memorial Trust Fund, as well as assistance to fund fire and
safety improvements in foster care facilities.
The Legislature directs the transfer of an additional $93,000,000 from
the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) surplus funds to
support the Child Care Block Grant, which brings the gross total of
the block grant to $804,000,000. Of this increase, the Legislature
provides $53,000,000 for additional child care subsidies and services
and $40,000,000 for the recruitment and retention of child care
workers. The Legislature also authorizes the use of $3,000,000 in
TANF funds to support an increase in the child care income tax credit.
The Legislature also provides $15,000,000 in new capital funding to
support the continued development of child care capacity by providing
a second year of funding for the Child Care Facilities Development
program.
The Legislature authorizes the transfer of an additional $50,100,000
from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) surplus funds
to support various family and children`s services programs. Of this
increase, the Legislature provides $23,000,000 for preventive services
initiatives which will focus on intensive case management for families
affected by substance abuse, $14,100,000 to support domestic violence
services, home visiting program expansion, the development of programs
that establish and strengthen familial bonds with non-custodial
parents and their children, caretaker relative support services, a
pilot aftercare program for youth discharged or released from other
than secure OCFS-operated residential facilities, and $13,000,000 for
the recruitment and retention of human services workers.
The Legislature rejects the Executive`s recommendation to transfer the
adolescent pregnancy prevention program to the Department of Health.
The Legislature also rejects the Executive`s proposal to mandate that
local social services districts reimburse families for the costs
associated with adopting a child out of the foster care system. Such
reimbursement will remain at the local district`s option.
