Comprehensive Services Act

The Comprehensive Services Act for At-Risk Youth and Families is a 1993 Virginia Law that provides for the pooling of eight specific funding streams which purchase services for high risk youth.  These funds are returned to the localities with a required state/local match and are managed by local interagency teams.  The purpose of the act is to provide high quality, child centered, family focused, cost-effective services to high risk youth and their families.

Each locality is required to have at least two different interagency teams who implement the Comprehensive Services Act as outlined by the Code of Virginia.  They are the Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) and the Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT).  The CPMT has administrative and fiscal responsibilities for the local funds pool, the development of local policy and procedure and appoints the members of the FAPT. Both teams are comprised of a member from:  County Administration/Designee, Department of Social Services, Public School System, Court Services Unit, Department of Health, Parent Representative and Private Provider.  These teams work with the families to develop the Individual and Family Service Plan.

VJCCCA

(Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act)

The Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act {VJCCCA) was enacted by the General Assembly effective January 1, 1996 to ensure the imposition of appropriate and just sanctions and to make the most efficient use of correctional resources for those juveniles before intake on complaints or the court on petitions alleging that the juvenile is a child in need of services, child in need of supervision, or delinquent.  VJCCCA establishes a community based system of intensive sanctions and services that correspond to the severity of offense and treatment needs.  All VJCCCA programs must promote public safety, hold juveniles accountable for their behaviors (sanctions), or build skills or provide treatment to improve a juveniles’ behavior.  The First Offender’s program and the Diversion Program has been established to provide services to juveniles in a collobative effort that is coordinated with the VJCCCA Coordinator, Court Services and the schools.  Weekly school visits, monthly home visits, and weekly group meetings are part of these programs.
