This report is respectfully submitted by the Children's Services Administration Division to update the Board of County Commissioners regarding County-funded contracted programs, as recommended by the Children's Services Board, serving the children of Broward County and their families. Supplemental funding allocated after start of the fiscal year delayed the implementation of some programs, resulting in the lower early utilization rates. This rate is expected to significantly increase in subsequent quarterly reports.
Every contract has client outcome performance indicators included to measure progress.
