SIX MONTHS MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES STATUS (Continuation Programs Only) In the space provided please list each measurable objective in your current program agreement and indicate the degree to which your program has been successful in achieving them. (Use data from the first six months of the fiscal year.) Statistics from the 1998 CBA Report indicate that the Home-Based Program well exceeds CBA Minimum Standards for referrals by court/law enforcement, problem behaviors by youth, and referrals of youth as delinquent/status offenders. The required state compliance levels for these three areas are 35%, 50%, and 80%, while the statewide average for all Home-Based Services programs during the same time period is 77%, 89%, and 96% respectively. CBA Minimum Standards require program to meet at least one of the three components. The Cabarrus County Home-Based Program complies with all of these components at the 100% level since all referrals originate from the Juvenile Court Counselors and Judges. The most recent on-site monitoring visit by the Regional CBA Consultant was conducted on February 26, 1998, for the Home-Based Services Program. The program was found to be in compliance with all CBA policies and procedures. No corrective actions were required. Other measurable objectives are the following: Developed a service plan for 100% of the children in the program. Ninety children were served during FY 97-98. All had a written service plan. Reduced possible out-of-home placements by 90% The intervention of the worker helped to prevent foster care or training school placement. Of the youth served in 1998, 93% were at home at the time of termination from the program; none were in relative placements 3% were in group homes. There was zero in training school commitment. Without the Home-Based worker's intervention, all these youth could have been placed in foster care or group care directly from Juvenile court. Reduced involvement in the Juvenile Justice System by 81%. The CBA report indicates that court referrals decreased by 81% and runaway behaviors decreased by 91%. Helped increase school attendance program for youth. In 1998 the Home-Based worker has been successful in getting youth back into school and encouraging school attendance. At the time of termination from the program, 22.58 percent of the problems had been eliminated, there was a 67.74% problems reduced; 6.4% of the problems at school reminded unchanged; and a 3.23% of the problems intensified. 5. School Status: During involvement with the program there were 90% of the student enrolled and a 6.4% drop out rate and only one student or 3% that was expelled. 2
