TO: Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Arnold R. Tompkins, Director
SUBJECT: Ohio Administrative Code Rule Governing Adult- Supervised Living Arrangements

Section 5107.24 of the Ohio Revised Code (see attached) gives public children services agencies (PCSA), private child placing agencies (PCPA), and private non-custodial agencies (PNA) the authority to approve adult-supervised living arrangement which are not approved, licensed, or certified by the Ohio Department of Human Services, the Ohio Department of Mental Health, the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, or the Ohio Department of Youth Services. This letter transmits Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rule 5101:2-42-71 entitled "Approval of Adult-Supervised Living Arrangements." This rule outlines what settings constitute an adult-supervised living arrangement and contains procedures for the PCSA, PCPA, and the PNA to follow when a county department of human services requests assistance in approving an applicant to operate an adult-supervised living arrangement.

Additionally, this letter transmits model forms which can be used when approving the applicant. The PCSA, PCPA, or PNA has the option of designing their own forms in order to implement the provision of paragraph (C) of OAC rule 5101:2-42-71.
