2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 11 - Juvenile Code, Human Services|Chapter 417 - Interstate Compacts on Juveniles and Children; Children and Family Services|Section 417.342 - Family support services; principles.

(1) Family support services are based on the belief that all people, regardless of disability, chronic illness or special need, have the right to a permanent and stable familial relationship in the community. Children have a developmental need to grow up in a family home environment. However, nothing in ORS 417.340 to 417.348 or 417.349 is intended to require any person with a disability or chronic illness to live in the family home. (2) Family support services can provide the support necessary to enable the family to meet the needs of caring for a family member with a disability or chronic illness at home and, subject to available funds, shall be based on the following principles: (a) Family support services may use private and volunteer resources, publicly funded services and other flexible dollars to provide a family with the services needed to care for the family member with a disability or chronic illness. (b) Family support services must be sensitive to the unique needs, strengths and multicultural values of an individual and the family rather than fitting the individual and family into existing services. (c) Family support services must be built on a relationship of respect and trust that recognizes that families are better able to determine their own needs than have their needs determined by the state or a public agency. (d) Family support services shall be provided in a manner that develops comprehensive, responsive and flexible support to families in their role as primary caregivers for family members with disabilities or chronic illnesses. (e) Family support services shall focus on the entire family and be responsive to the needs of the individual and the family. (f) Family support services may be needed throughout the lifespan of the individual family member living at home who has a disability or chronic illness. (g) Family support services shall be available to families before they are in crisis. (h) Family support services may be a service option offered to families, but not imposed on them. (i) Family support services shall encourage maximum use of existing social networks and natural sources of support and should encourage community integration. (j) Family support services shall not be confined to a single program or set of services but shall be a philosophy that permeates all programs and services.

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 11 - Juvenile Code, Human Services|Chapter 417 - Interstate Compacts on Juveniles and Children; Children and Family Services|Section 417.360 - Findings and policy.

(1) The Legislative Assembly finds that: (a) The current delivery system for human services is fragmented and uncoordinated, producing service duplication and inappropriate or inadequate responses to individuals and to families; (b) Clients with multiple needs must interact with a variety of agencies and frequently feel powerless to negotiate the complicated array of services; (c) The system is too often perceived as victimizing the persons it is intended to serve; (d) Dedicated direct service workers become the target of disillusionment by clients even though the workers are equally frustrated by their lack of control over bureaucratic requirements; and (e) The state needs to rethink and restructure traditional methods of delivering human services. Organizations that have traditionally not viewed themselves as partners, such as social services and education, must be strongly encouraged to integrate their programs. (2) It shall be the policy of this state to foster a family-or client-centered service delivery system at the community level with the goal of providing more efficient and responsive services, driven by the needs of the individuals and families served and not by funding tied to traditional, categorical programs. Family services available through community level delivery systems should include, but need not be limited to, education, information and referral services. [1991 c.359 §1; 1995 c.800 §1a]

A family- or client-centered service system must be a system that: (1) Insures active participation of clients in service planning, decision making and service delivery; (2) Empowers direct service workers to gain access to a broad continuum of services and flexible funding to meet the needs of individuals and families served; (3) Pools funds of multiple service delivery agencies; (4) Generates policies for program planning and implementation at the community level rather than mandating policies at the state level; and (5) Supports and enhances family harmony with the goal of preserving the health and integrity of all family units.
