Hanover's Children's Services Act spending topped $9.75 million in FY25; 187 children served
Summary
The advisory board packet reported that Hanover's CSA expenditures were $9,759,132 in FY25 and that 187 unduplicated children were served; the presentation outlined FAPT/CPMT roles and the separate CSA budget.
The board packet and presentation described the Children's Services Act (CSA) as a state law establishing a pooled fund for services to at-risk youth and families. Staff explained local decision-making roles: the Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) recommends expenditures and eligibility to the local Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT), which must approve recommended expenditures before payment.
The packet listed FY25 CSA expenditures at $9,759,132 and reported that 187 Hanover children were served under CSA during the year. The presentation also provided historical fiscal-year comparisons and noted that CSA maintains a budget separate from the department's general Social Services budget.
Staff emphasized CSA's collaborative, child-centered mission and included per-unit average costs and category breakdowns for FY26 year-to-date figures included in the packet.
