Defining services and programs
Official statutory text
The Office of Juvenile Affairs shall carefully define its
services and programs as to their purpose, the population served,
the needs of the community if the facility, program or service is
community-based, and performance expectations. Planning for new
programs and services and major modifications to existing ones shall
be made only after evaluation of their effect on other existing
programs and services and communication and coordination with other
existing public and private children and youth service providers in
order to assure successful and cost-effective implementation of the
program. An evaluation component that includes monitoring and
evaluation of client outcomes shall be incorporated into all of the
programs and services of the Office of Juvenile Affairs to children
and youth, whether provided directly by the agency or through a
contract.
1. All programs and services shall be designed to ensure the
accessibility of the program to the persons served. Provision for
transportation, child care and similar services necessary in order
to assist persons to access the services shall be made. If the
service is provided in an office setting, the service shall be
available during the evening, if necessary. Services may be
provided in a school setting at the request of or with permission of
the school.
2. Programs and services shall be targeted to the areas of the
state having the greatest need for them. The programs and services
shall be designed to meet the needs of the area in which they are
located. Programs and services intended for statewide
implementation shall be implemented first in those areas that have
the greatest need for them.
3. Requests for proposals developed by the Office of Juvenile
Affairs shall be based upon documented service needs and identified
priorities. The request for proposals shall clearly identify the
program or service 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.
