See more of our Evaluation WorkNYS OCFS and the Children’s Bureau of the federal Department for Health and Human Services partnered with WRI to increase the value and quality of child protective services by moving from generalized foster parent recruitment to a selection model specific to an individual child’s placement needs.
WRI administered a statewide Recruitment and Retention Resources survey to identify areas of opportunity and barriers to success. WRI assisted seven identified counties in NYS in creating empirical plans to track and share Key Performance Indicator data to monitor progress more effectively.
WRI also developed Continuous Quality Improvement practices with the identified counties to ensure that the practices adopted during the grant period remained sustainable after its conclusion.
The data-driven foster care recruitment model developed during this period gained national acclaim: https://ocfs.ny.gov/programs/fostercare/recruitment/
See more of our consulting WorkIn 2024, WRI contracted with the New York Alliance for Inclusion & Innovation to create a summarized version of The Housing Resource Guide. The publication contains the key points on important housing-related topics for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD). It is written in plain language and organized into a clear, easy-to-understand format for individuals with I/DD and their caregivers. The Companion Piece contains customized imagery created to visually communicate the content and guide the reader. The final product is an interactive PDF posted on the NYHRC site.
The New York Housing Resource Center (NYHRC) for people with I/DD was developed by the New York Alliance for Inclusion & Innovation to provide information, resources, and technical assistance to all housing stakeholders who help people with I/DD to live more independently.
