RESOURCE MAPPING

STATEWIDE OVERVIEW

Number of Agencies = 25

Number of Data Records = 3,417

Total Expenditures

◦ FY 2006-07 = $4,141,273,802

◦ FY 2007-08 = $4,475,705,465

CHILDREN SERVED

(duplicated among child-serving agencies)

Departments/agencies reported the

number of children served by each of

their programs. Most Tennessee children

receive services from multiple

departments/agencies.

The reported numbers of children served

by all the various state and federally

funded programs total:

18,213,579 for FY 2006-07

19,427,854 for FY 2007-08

FUNDING SOURCES

Slightly more than two of every three

dollars spent on services for children and

families in Tennessee are from federal

funding sources.

State funding sources accounted for 29

percent of all expenditures in FY 2007

and 30 percent in FY 2008.

AGE GROUPSAges or Surrogates for Age:

0 – 5: Conception – Pre-K

6 – 13: K – 8th Grade

14 – 17: High School

18+: Transition to Adulthood*

All Children

Families

* The upper age for the 18+ age group varies by program (for example: Medicaid under

21; special education, under 22; children in custody through age 24).

_________________________

“All Children” was used for programs focused on children that could not easily be separated by age.

“Families” was used for programs focused on families and not easily/reasonably separated by age, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), housing, family literacy, family resource centers and grants specifically for families with children addressing individual issues of the parents (substance abuse, mental health, domestic violence).

TennCare data was submitted under the “All Children” category.

PRIMARY OUTCOMES

Departments were also asked to select one Primary Outcome area that best captured the intended outcome of the program. The five outcome area options included:

Safe (Examples: home visitation, bullying prevention, suicide prevention, child protective services, accident prevention);

Healthy (Examples: immunizations, crisis response, mental health case management, intensive case management, outpatient sex offender treatment, substance abuse prevention, substance abuse intervention);

Educated (Examples: Head Start, regular education, special education);

Supported and Nurtured (Examples: income supports, probation, foster care, youth development centers);

Engaged (Examples: mentoring, teen courts, after school programs, 4-H)

SERVICE DELIVERY LOCATION

Departments reported the service delivery

location for their programs. Location options

included:

Home

Community site

School

Provider’s office

Residential placement

Continuum

PROGRAMMATIC FOCUS

Data were collected on the Programmatic Focus of expenditures. Departments selected from

six different focus areas.

General services: Services to promote the healthy development and education of All Children (Examples: regular education, immunizations, health services);

Universal prevention: Services for All Children to promote positive outcomes (Examples: substance abuse prevention, bullying prevention, suicide prevention, accident prevention, after school programs,

4-H, sports, arts, music);

Targeted prevention: Services for Children At Risk of adverse outcomes (Examples: income supports, home visitation, Head Start, mentoring, special education);

Early intervention: Services for children who have life circumstances or have exhibited behaviors, which if addressed early, can remediate problems and avoid the need for additional interventions (examples: life skills training, mentoring);

Moderate intervention: Services for children who have needs that require intervention in order for them to continue to function in the community (Examples: crisis response, mental health case management, probation, child protective services, foster care, outpatient substance abuse treatment);

Intensive intervention: Services for children who require intensive or long-term intervention to remain in the community or because they are a risk to themselves or others and cannot function in the community (examples: youth development centers, outpatient sex offender treatment, intensive case management, residential treatment).

EXPENDITURES PER CHILD

Expenditures per child served varies significantly

across and even within service delivery location

categories. For example, services delivered in

the “Home” location group include both foster

care, because the children are living in a family

setting, and a wide range of services to children

in their own homes.

Costs for services for children in “Residential

placement” are, on average, tens of thousands

of dollars more than services in any other

setting.

Going forward. . . .

• Get caught up and current to the most recent “closed out” fiscal year

• Produce and disseminate the annual report by April 15th statutory deadline

• Analyze the data, document findings and identify trends

• Identify and describe influential nuances such as overall economic trends, the infusion of ARRA funds into state budgets, the evolving political landscape of the state, the performance of TN’s enterprise resource planning project (Edison) and other similar & complementary projects

• Increase awareness and usefulness of the tool among the legislative body as a whole
