CFSA Seeks Community Engagement for Planning a New Performance-based Contracting Initiative

(Washington, DC)  CFSA invites you to attend a series of public meetings exploring opportunities for restructuring the public-private partnership to achieve desired outcomes and performance expectations.

CFSA released a Request for Information (RFI) in October 2006 for a lead agency to provide comprehensive services for children in out-of-home care. Comments received in response to the RFI suggested that CFSA re-engage in a dialogue with current providers and other stakeholders. This convening is in direct response to this feedback.

Results sought

  • Shared vision—and ultimately shared ownership with service providers—of desired child welfare system outcomes, including LaShawn requirements for the District of Columbia’s child welfare system and federal outcomes and performance expectations;
  • Identification of current strengths to be maintained in a future procurement;
  • Identification of current challenges to achieving successful outcomes; and 
  • Recommendations for core elements of a redesigned system that help us achieve our shared performance expectations

All participants are welcome to register online to join our live discussion via audio/web conference. Please select this link to register.

Update: The meeting on April 17 has been rescheduled for April 25.
