The question is often asked, how can the County develop strategies that promote revenue maximization, while encouraging service integration and coordination? It was this question that members of the Los Angeles County's Service Integration Action Plan's (SIAP), Funding for Services Workgroup grappled with to identify opportunities and compose recommendations. Comprised of County departments and community representatives, the Workgroup developed integrated strategy recommendations predicated on Guidelines and Principles for Interagency Funding to maximize Federal and State revenues. Two key aspects of the Guidelines call for County departments to keep the best interests of the client in mind when pursuing funding and to ensure that the funds follow the client rather than having funding requirements prescribe what services are available to clients. Additional aspects of the approved County Revenue Maximization Strategy include:
The
Revenue Maximization Plan
includes pursuing new funding opportunities within three Federal
entitlement sources: IV-E Foster Care, Title XIX Medicaid -
Targeted Case Management (TCM) and Medicaid Administrative (MA)
activities. Leveraging of $50 million of First 5 LA (Proposition
10) funds over five years with County funding sources through
a Child Abuse Prevention Initiative proposal is also being explored.
