LAC 67:III.5573. Community Supervision Program

A. The department has an agreement with the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, Office of Juvenile Justice (DPSC-OJJ), to provide services to youth and their families as a result of an adjudication and disposition by a court that orders (DPSC-OJJ) to supervise youth in their communities in an effort to prevent removal from the home. B. OJJ will complete an intake/assessment and develop a case plan for addressing the needs of the youth. The case plan will contain goals for all need areas and when indicated, include referrals to community programs for both youth and parents. These referrals may include, but are not limited to: 1. case management, counseling, and in-home services; 2. parenting education and training, either in-home or out-of-home; 3. diagnostic and evaluation services provided in an attempt to make the most appropriate out-of-home placement; 4. supervision or non-residential programs for youth who remain in the home. C. TANF eligibility is limited within any 12-month period to a single episode of need with a maximum duration of 12 months. TANF eligibility is also limited to families with income less than twice the state median income (SMI). D. These services are TANF-eligible based on inclusion in the state’s approved AFDC Emergency Assistance Program that was in effect as of August 21, 1996.
