Tyler Allen, Title IV-E Waiver Administrator, CDHS, and Angela Lytle, Deputy Director for the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services, introduced themselves to the committee. Their presentation and additional handouts can be found as Attachments L, M, and N. Mr. Allen explained the federal funding and reimbursement structure for child welfare services, in particular out-of-home placement, and stated that the Families First Prevention Service Act changes the way the reimbursement structure works. Ms. Lytle spoke about the need to move from talking about "rescuing children" to "supporting families," as well as from talking about "individual responsibility" to "environmental conditions." She spoke about the 2015 Federal Child Maltreatment Report. 03:06:57 PM Mr. Allen told the committee that in order for prevention services to be reimbursable, the services must be evidence-based and focused either on substance abuse, mental health, or parenting skill building/parenting support. Mr. Allen and Ms. Lytle answered questions about what the legislature can do to support the implementation of Families First Prevention Service Act. 03:37:21 PM The presenters continued to answer questions from the committee.
