Page 2 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.) (Except where noted, most data presented below are from the February 1992 CBA Quarterly Report (YC340-2), for the six month period from July 1, 1991 - December 31, 1991). Statistics from the CBA Quarterly 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 61%, 82%, and 86% respectively. CBA Minimum Standards require programs 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 monitoring visit by the Regional CBA Consultant was conducted in October 1991 for the Home-Based Services Program. The program was found to Be in compliance with all CBA policies and procedures. Other measurable objectives are the following: 1. Developed a service plan for 100% of the children in the program. Thirty six youth were served during the July 1, 1991 - March 31, 1992 time period. Some of these youth went into foster care or group care following assessment while others received short-term assistance to help the families access other community resources. Seventeen of the youth have proceeded through the entire home-based program. 2. Reduced possible out-of-home placements by 40%. The intervention of the worker helped to prevent foster care or training school placement. Of the youth served Between January 1991 - December 1991, 40% were at home at the time of termination from the program, with 50% in foster care or group care. The remainder were with relatives or other living arrangements. There were no training school co~itments. Without the Home-Based worker's intervention, all of these youth would probably have been placed in foster care or group care directly from Juvenile Court. 3. Reduced involvement in the Juvenile Justice, S,stem}, ,,yB 71%. The CBA Report indicates that court referrals decreased by 71% and runaway Behaviors decreased By 62%. 4. Helped increase school attendance pro,ram for youth. 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 90% of youth yemained enrolled in school for calendar year 1991.
