Office of Children and Family Services

Revised Information (January 27, 2000):

Adding five positions in the Systems Support program and assigned to the Adoption Foster Care Analysis Reporting System (AFCARS).
Adding $4.4 million for 57 employees to perform child support functions.

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 12, 2000):

An ASAFL of 4,702 which represents an increase of 175 in ASAFL positions. According to GOER OCFS will have 84,582 FTE positions at the end of SFY 2000-01.

$18.5 million to fingerprint all regulated child care providers, expand oversight and monitoring activities, and increase the percentage of inspections for registered programs. However, the Child Care program is cut by $1.3 million in personal services. The Appendix also shows an increase of 170 positions. We are unable to identify the $185 million in funding for these increases in positions.
$75 million to construct a new secure center to replace Harlem Valley.
The addition of 13 limited secure beds for girls at the Lansing Residential Center.
$66 million in the Systems Support program for the continued development of CONNECTIONS. This represents a $35.5 million increase over last year's Maintenance Undistributed and Special Revenue-Federal appropriation. OCFS has "retained a quality assurance contractor to assist CONNECTIONS project leadership in managing this project."
$6.5 million of a $10 million Special Revenue-Other appropriation in the Systems Support program to implement a common computer platform agency-wide.
$1.2 million Maintenance Undistributed appropriation in the Administration program for services associated with the special hearing program.
Reducing nonpersonal services in the Family and Children Services program by $6.6 million. This appears to reflect the completion of the State Central Registry relocation.
Adding $100,000 to the Family and Children Services program as a Maintenance Undistributed appropriation for expenses associated with institutional abuse investigations.
A reduction of $39 million from the Training and Development program in Special Revenue - Federal and Special Revenue - Other funds. No information was provided in the Executive Budget on this reduction.
$1.99 million increase in the personal services appropriation for the Youth Facilities program. This increase is likely related to the Governor's proposal to add $1.6 million to expand mental health treatment services to seriously emotionally disturbed youth in OCFS facilities.
