Continuum of Care. DHS’ decision to expand its services to provide family-based therapeutic care beyond Oklahoma’s long-standing and privately operated TFC program represents a much-needed paradigm shift in the department’s commitment and approach to ensure children in custody receive the therapeutic supports and treatment they need in a xxxxxx home that best supports their stability, permanency, and well-being. During the report period, DHS created a set of strategies to build the state’s continuum of care, along with a series of activities to implement each of the strategies. Some of these strategies are 19 The next steps in the TFC authorization process will continue as previously conducted. The TFC agency that accepts placement of a child based on a preliminary authorization (also referred to as a “sounds like” decision) will begin TFC services and the formal clinical assessment that OHCA will then review to make the final TFC eligibility and authorization decision. As of this report writing, DHS reported no concerns with respect to OHCA disagreeing with or reversing DHS’ preliminary authorizations. more recently developed, such as the new EFC program, and others are a continuation, at a more focused level, of ongoing efforts, such as expanding Oklahoma’s TFC placements. Some are intended to align with and support DHS’ expanded strategies to further reduce shelter placements and improve children’s placement stability. As further described below in the shelter use and placement stability sections of this Commentary, the continuum of care strategies include efforts to reduce the number of children and youth ages 13 and under in congregate and shelter care and the length of stays in these facilities. To support the development and use of a continuum of care in Oklahoma, DHS made several significant organizational changes. First, DHS merged its TFC program with its Xxxxxx Care and Adoptions Program to streamline its family-based placement process, strategies, and resources. The Co-Neutrals had long supported this merger. Second, DHS created a new executive team position, Deputy Director for Placement Programs, under whom all placement programs are now managed. Finally, DHS’ Specialized Placements and Partnerships Unit (SPPU), which manages the department’s group home and institutional programs and works with shelters and higher-level settings, including placement decisions, services, and facility liaisons, was moved and is now part of this new consolidated placement team.

Continuum of Care. During this report period, DHS created a set of eight strategies to build the state’s continuum of care, along with a series of activities to implement each of the strategies. Some of these strategies are new, some began at the end of the last period and others are a continuation, at a more focused level, of ongoing efforts, such as expanding Oklahoma’s TFC placements.

Continuum of Care. The interim rule simplifies the statutory language in order to make the Continuum of Care planning process clear. HUD highlights that its definition of collaborative applicant does not track the statutory definition, which is found in section 401 of the XxXxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. As will be discussed in further detail later in this preamble, the concept of collaborative applicant, its duties and functions, as provided in the statute, is provided for in this rule. However, HUD uses the term Continuum of Care to refer to the organizations that carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to the collaborative applicant, with the exception of applying to HUD for grant funds. The clarification is necessary in this rule because Continuums of Care are not required to be legal entities, but HUD can enter into contractual agreements with legal entities only. Continuum of Care and Continuum are defined to mean the group that is organized to carry out the responsibilities required under this part and that is composed of representatives of organizations including nonprofit homeless providers, victim service providers, faith-based organizations, governments, businesses, advocates, public housing agencies, school districts, social service providers, mental health agencies, hospitals, universities, affordable housing developers, law enforcement, organizations that serve homeless and formerly homeless veterans, and homeless and formerly homeless persons. These organizations consist of the relevant parties in the geographic area. Continuums are expected to include representation to the extent that the type of organization exists within the geographic area that the Continuum represents and is available to participate in the Continuum. For example, if a Continuum of Care did not have a university within its geographic boundaries, then HUD would not expect the Continuum to have representation from a university within the Continuum. These organizations carry out the responsibilities and duties established under Subpart B of this interim rule. The Continuum of Care, as noted above, carries out the statutory duties and responsibilities of a collaborative applicant. HUD established the Continuum of Care in 1995. Local grantees and stakeholders are familiar with the Continuum of Care as the coordinating body for homeless services and homelessness prevention activities across the geographic area. Consequently, HUD is maintaining the Continuum of Care terminology, and the rule provid...
