Amended Substitute House Bill 117 required agencies, organization and families in Ohio counties work together to design and develop a better system for responding to the strengths and needs of multiple need children and their families. Additionally, the bill mandated that each county develop a plan for coordinating services to abused, neglected, dependent, unruly, or delinquent children and those families who voluntarily seek services.
This letter transmits guidelines for development of the county Service Coordination Plan. The Service Coordination Plan must be submitted by March 15, 1996 to:
