3 Enter RecSum Text Here : The goal is to reduce the number of pregnant and parenting women who have their children removed from their care and placed in the foster care system, as parental SUD is a factor for ~60% of infant placements and ~70% of placements that occur within 30 days of birth 1 . DCYF’s effort is to either align with or build services that keep the parents and children together while the adults receive appropriate SUD services. The population of pregnant and parenting individuals who utilize substances has continued to increase in the general population. The situation adversely effects the health, safety and well-being of newborn children, parents and their families. DCYF receives intake referrals for Child Protective Investigations that may result in a child placed into the foster care system. We want to decrease the number of children placed into foster care due to Substance Abusing parents through two specific efforts. This proposal has three sections, prevention, early intervention and intervention.

This detailed description should provide the Governor, OFM, the Legislature and the public an understanding of the problem you are addressing, your proposed solution and anticipated outcomes or consequences. To thoroughly describe the package and its justification, agencies are strongly encouraged to use:  Detailed narrative descriptions  Informative tables  Charts and graphs  Logic models  Timelines  Flowcharts  Maps or other graphics High-quality narrative descriptions whether for an addition, or a reduction will address the following questions:

5 What is the problem, opportunity or priority you are addressing with the request?  Describe in detail the problem you propose to solve.  What is the relevant history or context in which the DP request is made?  Why is this the opportune time to address this problem?  Have you previously proposed this request? If so, when and how was it received in the budgeting process at that time? Enter Answer Here : Describe in detail the problem you propose to solve. The issue addressed in this study is the rising population of parenting and pregnant women in Washington state who have had their children taken away from their care and placed in foster care. The growing incidence of parental Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD) in Washington has aggravated the matter. Why is this the opportune time to address this problem? According to my personal view, now is the perfect time to approach this issue because it has resulted in noticeable community effects. Most children have been left without parental affection because they have been placed in foster care owing to their parents' inability to live with them. Most of those who have had to deal with this issue have grown up and are ready to help ensure that such parents are cared for alongside their children in foster care. From the above opinion, now is the appropriate moment to address this issue.

6 Have you previously proposed this request? If so, when and how was it received in the budgeting process at that time? This is my first time presenting a DP request, and I hope it will approved. What is your proposal?  How do you propose to address this problem, opportunity or priority?  Why is this proposal the best option?  Identify who will be affected by this DP and how.  How many clients will or will not be served? Served by whom? Enter Answer Here : How do you propose to address this problem, opportunity or priority? My plan is to approach this challenge as both an opportunity and a priority. It is an opportunity because it has provided me with the perfect chance to address a problem that is plaguing Washington and the globe at large. This challenge, on the other hand, has been prioritized because it is a leading cause of health-related concerns, notably brain-related disorders. Health issues should be prioritized at all times and in all parts of the world. Why is this proposal the best option? This proposal is the ultimate choice because it will primarily aid in the management of health-related issues. When parents are removed from custody of their children, both children and parents suffer a great deal. If children are removed from their parents, they will experience loneliness and abandoned. This causes trauma and depression in children, which can lead to cognitive problems. Parents, on the other side, will feel regret and irresponsible which may lead

7 to development of brain or heart ailments. Given the benefits that this proposal is attempting to address, I believe that it is the best alternative. How many clients will or will not be served? Served by whom? This proposal will serve a large number of people. This proposal investigates how parents with Substance Use Disorders (SUD) can be assisted by offering SUD assistance services while staying with their children in foster care. This means that this proposal will benefit two groups of people: parents with parenting SUD whose children have been removed from their protection and placed in foster care, and children whose parents are dealing with SUD-related issues. The Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) will serve these clients. What are you purchasing and how does it solve the problem?  What will this funding package actually buy, reduce or eliminate?  What services and/or materials will be provided, reduced or eliminated,  When and to whom will these service level changes impact?  How will these service level changes achieve the desired outputs, efficiencies and outcomes? Enter Answer Here : What will this funding package actually buy, reduce or eliminate? This financial allocation has been set aside to purchase the necessary equipment and services that DCYF will need in order to deliver the best services for foster children and SUD families in Washington State. Counselling and guiding services, therapeutic services such as Family disease Family therapy Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and Multi - dimensional family therapy (MDFT), child education services, and feeding activities will be included in this financing allocation. This funds will also be utilized to acquire some critical services for the

8 DCYF organization. This funding packet will cover food expenses, pharmaceutical purchases, hygienic and sleeping necessities, and educational supplies such as books and writing materials. What services and/or materials will be provided, reduced or eliminated, This proposal aims to cover the services that the DCYF agency will deliver as well as the funding budget breakdown. These products and services will be provided within a budget of $400000. The allocation of this expenditure is also the primary focus of this proposal. Counselling and guidance services, as well as therapeutic services such as Family disease Family therapy, will be offered as part of this financing package. Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and multidimensional family therapy (MDFT), as well as child education services and feeding activities, are also included in this funding packet. This package will also be used to buy materials and items such as food, pharmaceutical purchases, sanitary and sleeping essentials, and educational supplies such as books and writing materials. With all of these services and commodities receiving sufficient financing, services will be offered to guarantee that parental SUD cases in Washington are decreased. Counseling and educational services can be made available to the general population in order to raise public awareness about the dangers of drug usage. With most of these services and commodities receiving sufficient financing, services shall be offered to guarantee that parental SUD instances in Washington decreases. Counseling and educational services can be made available to the general population in order to raise public understanding about the dangers of drugs usage. When and to whom will these service level changes impact? The services initially described will be beneficial in a variety of ways. For instance, public education will have a positive influence on the rates of parental SUD mitigation. These services will improve the situation in terms of SUD level lowering. Given the effort put into this

9 plan, I am confident that the funding for this proposal will result in positive outcomes. These changes will be noticeable 3 to 6 weeks after the budgetary implementation. How will these service level changes achieve the desired outputs, efficiencies and outcomes? These services will achieve the desired goals through proper administration of the resources distributed. This will be achievable since the fiscal personnel will be recruited based on selective decisions. How is your proposal impacting equity in the state?  Which communities are impacted by this proposal? Include both demographic and  geographic communities.  How are disparities in communities impacted? Enter Answer Here : Which communities are impacted by this proposal? Include both demographic and geographic communities. As per the Substance Abuse (SUD) and Mental Health Services Administration (MHSA), one out of every ten Americans aged twelve and above is addicted to drugs and alcohol. Using that projection for Washington State, there might be roughly 670,000 persons with a substance abuse disorder. Regrettably, only around 9 percent of the total of addicts receive the necessary medication. Seattle has the highest level of parental SUD, followed by Spokane and Tacoma. Bellevue ranks fourth in levels of parenting SUD, while Everett ranks fifth. These cities have been substantially impacted by high levels of parental SUD, which has resulted in a considerable number of children being placed in foster care. https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.04a274b6908348b07ff74a5df7f158cd? rik=GlcELhY08Q9Zaw&pid=ImgRaw&r=0

10 ASSUMPTIONS AND CALCULATIONS (Budget Office will complete this section) You must clearly display the caseload/workload/service-level changes and cost/savings assumptions and calculations supporting proposed expenditure and revenue changes. An attached electronic version (Excel) of detailed fiscal models and/or fiscal backup information may augment but not replace your description here. The intent here is not to repeat the fiscal detail summarized above, but to expand and provide all underlying assumptions and calculations associated with this proposal. All calculations must include impacts to the 2021-23 and 2023-25 biennia and must support the fiscal summary detail. Expansion, reduction, elimination or alteration of a current program or service (Budget Office will complete this section) Where a proposal is an expansion, reduction, elimination or alteration of a current program or service, provide detailed historical financial information for the prior two biennia (2017-19 and 2019-21). Enter Answer Here : Detailed assumptions and calculations (Budget Office will complete this section)  Provide detailed caseload/workload and cost information associated with adopting this proposal.

11  Identify discrete expenditure/revenue calculations. Many DPs contain multiple components to achieve a desired outcome. If this package contains discrete funding proposals, the fiscal models or details must break out the complete costs/savings of each component part.  Clearly explain all one-time expenditure or revenue components. Enter Answer Here : Workforce assumptions (Budget Office will complete this section) Include FTE information by job classification, including salary and benefits, startup costs and any additional staff related ongoing costs. Enter Answer Here : STRATEGIC AND PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES Strategic framework  How does this package relate and contribute to the Governor’s Results Washington goal areas and statewide priorities?  How does the package relate to the agency’s strategic plan?  Identify how this proposal affects agency activity funding by amount and fund source. Enter Answer Here :

12 How does this package relate and contribute to the Governor’s Results Washington goal areas and statewide priorities? This budget has been proposed to suit the governor's results. This proposed budget, however, has a few adjustments that do not accord with Washington's priorities. This budget plan contrasts the state's priorities because the state does not have this challenge in its priorities. The state has prioritized the dilemma of taxation while not prioritizing health . How does the package relate to the agency’s strategic plan? A budget is a projection of an agency's strategic plan, and it has a significant impact on strategic planning (Lalli, 2012). Attempting to correlate this budget to the DCYF strategic plan, I can conclude that it does. As a result, this budgetary plan will have no effect on the agency's strategic plan. Identify how this proposal affects agency activity funding by amount and fund source. According to the proposal's fiscal plan, I can report that this funding package would not have a significant financial impact on DCYF, which indicates that the agency's budgetary plan would not be affected at all. When there are no changes to the agency's budget, there will be no financing constraints, which will mean that no external funds sourcing will be expected. Performance outcomes  Describe and quantify the specific performance outcomes you expect from this funding change.  What outcomes and results, either positive or negative will occur?  Identify all Lean initiatives and their expected outcomes.
