Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) members plan and oversee services to youth in our community who are receiving services from the Department of Human Services.

Representatives on the CPMT include individuals from Social Services, Mental Health, Juvenile Court Services, and Public Schools. Other members include the Health Department, a parent, and providers appointed by the City Council. 

The CPMT is responsible for appointing a Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) from their participating agencies. The FAPT is responsible for assessing every child who is referred for Children's Services Act (CSA) funding and utilizes the unified assessment tool to create an Individualized Family Service Plan that drives the services to meet the needs of the child and the family. 

CSA serves children at risk of entering foster care, foster children who need more services than a regular foster home can provide, children who have an Individual Education Program (IEP) and cannot be educated in public schools, and children who have mental health problems that are severe and disabling in several community settings such as home and school and require intervention beyond the normal agency services provided by the community.
