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.
