WHAT IS THE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES ACT FOR AT RISK YOUTH AND FAMILIES (CSA)?

It is a 1993 Virginia Law that provided for the pooling of eight specific funding streams used to purchase services for high-risk youth. These funds are returned to the localities with a required state/ local match and are managed by local interagency teams. The purpose of the act is to provide high quality, child centered, family focused, cost effective, community-based services to high-risk youth and their families.  [ More ]
