Beginning July 1, 2010 the City of Charlottesville Department of Social Services and Albemarle County Department of Social Services will assume responsibility for administration of CSA for their respective jurisdictions. This change will mean that all fiscal, vendor contract matters, operational and administrative issues will flow through these departments.
Charlottesville DSS will be developing a new website for the CSA system and will serve as lead on this for both the city and the county. Until the new website is up and running, please continue to obtain information and forms from this website. Albemarle County Department of Social Services will serve as lead for vendor contract management. CSA Coordinator functions will be shared between the two social services. However each locality will have their own CSA Coordinator and FAPT Scheduler. Contact information for CSA Coordinator and FAPT Scheduler for each jurisdiction can be found on the column to your left.
About the Comprehensive Services Act
The Comprehensive Services Act for At-Risk Youth and Families is a 1993 Virginia Law that provides 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.
