Group Home Rate Sub-Committee


DHHS requested that the Foster Care Reimbursement Rate Committee unbundle the group home rates for purposes of Title IV-E compliance.  The Foster Care Reimbursement Rate Committee created the Group Home Rate Sub-Committee to perform this task with membership representation from group home providers, DHHS, and Probation.  The Group Home Rate Subcommittee completed the task to the satisfaction of DHHS.  The FCRRC and Commission requested that the subcommittee continue to meet to calculate the actual costs of providing group home services using the same methodology used to unbundle the rates.  In 2015, the Subcommittee completed this task, and the final report is included below.  In addition to its assigned tasks, the subcommittee also provided a forum for group home providers to share information about policies and practices with the intent of improving the effectiveness of group home care.
