1. PURPOSE /INTRODUCTION
Act 80 of 2012 established a Human Services Block Grant ("Block Grant") for the purpose of allocating
funds to county governments to provide locally identified county-based human services to meet the
service needs of county residents.
The Act provides for specific duties of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (“the
Department”). The Department must annually prepare and submit a report to the Chairman and
Minority Chairman of the Public Health and Welfare Committee of the Senate, the Chairman and
Minority Chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Senate, the Chairman and Minority
Chairman of the Health Committee of the House of Representatives, the Chairman and Minority
Chairman of the Human Services Committee of the House of Representatives and the Chairman and
Minority Chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives of the
expenditures of Block Grant funds by county governments to include:
• The allocation levels.
• The expenditure levels.
• The number of individuals served by the human services provided.
• Any other information deemed necessary by the Department, including any information which
would determine the effectiveness of the Block Grant.

2. BACKGROUND
Act 80 of 2012 was signed into law on June 30, 2012, establishing the Block Grant. In July 2012 the
Department began the implementation of Act 80 of 2012. In 2013, the program was expanded by Act 55
to allow for participation of ten additional counties. Designed as a funding mechanism, the Block Grant
provides counties greater flexibility in financing human services. This flexibility pertains only to the
funding sources within the Block Grant and not to all county human services funded by state or federal
dollars. Counties are not required to implement new services or make other service delivery changes.
2.1 Funding Within The Block Grant: Line items within the Block Grant contain a small but
significant portion of the total funds provided to counties for the delivery of human services and include:
• Mental Health (MH) Community Base Funded Services,
• Behavioral Health Services Initiative,
• Intellectual Disabilities (ID) Community Base Funded Services,
• Child Welfare Special Grants,
• Act 152 Drug and Alcohol (D&A) Funding
• Homeless Assistance Program (HAP) Funding, and
• Human Services Development Funds (HSDF).
Other significant sources of funding for county human services programs are not included in the Block
Grant, such as:
• Intellectual Disabilities Waiver programs,
• Behavioral Health Medicaid funded HealthChoices Program,
• Early Intervention Services, and
• County Child Welfare Needs-Based Plan and Budget.
2.2 Allocation Changes: Act 55 of 2013 allowed for Department adjustments to county Block Grant
allocations based on the county’s demonstrated need for funds to meet the specific human services
needs of the residents. During FY 2013/14, the Department made funds available to counties that
wanted to participate in the Mental Health Matters initiative. This initiative was focused on raising
awareness of mental health issues and to provide mental health related training. To the extent Block
Grant counties chose to participate, county Block Grant allocations were adjusted for the associated
funding. Other allocation adjustments included Community Hospital Integration Projects Program
(CHIPP) start-up costs and re-allocation of federal dollars.

2.3 Participating Counties In The Block Grant: The thirty counties with Block Grant funding in FY
2013/14 are listed below. Act 80 of 2012 allowed for twenty counties to participate in the Block Grant.
Ten additional counties were added by Act 55 of 2013 (identified with an asterisk below), bringing the
total to thirty counties:
• Allegheny
• Beaver
• Berks
• Blair*
• Bucks
• Butler
• Cambria*
• Centre
• Chester
• Crawford
• Dauphin
• Delaware
• Erie
• Franklin
• Fulton
• Greene
• Lackawanna*
• Lancaster
• Lehigh
• Luzerne
• McKean*
• Montgomery*
• Northampton*
• Potter*
• Schuylkill*
• Tioga
• Venango
• Washington*
• Wayne
• Westmoreland*
There remains additional interest in participation in the Block Grant from several of the 37 counties that
do not have flexible funding. This map summarizes the development of the Block Grant in fiscal years
2012/13 and 2013/14:

2.4 Consolidated County Human Service Planning And Reporting: Included in Act 80 of 2012
were provisions for consolidated, uniform and standardized reporting and planning procedures across
all counties. The consolidated planning and reporting requirements are applicable to all 67 counties for
the seven funding streams included in the Block Grant. The consolidated reporting requirements
replaced numerous reports with varying deadlines and requirements for the funding streams now in the
Block Grant.
2.5 Public And Stakeholder Engagement: Act 80 of 2012 requires each Block Grant county to hold
at least two public hearings which provide the opportunity for individuals to testify about the county’s
plan. Last year, the Department reported that several counties had established additional opportunities
for stakeholder input and feedback. This trend has continued again this year with additional counties
building partnerships with stakeholders. Many counties have incorporated additional stakeholder input
sessions to help plan and implement programs. Additionally, stakeholder feedback has helped establish
programmatic priorities within counties, particularly with cross-systems issues that seem to impact
programs equally. Examples of workgroups and committees created due to Block Grant engagement
include:
• Allegheny County established work groups on landlord engagement and childcare for working
families with housing instabilities and access to healthcare services.
• Butler County utilized input through a series of public meetings with stakeholder engagement, to
create the position of Community Housing Development Coordinator whose role it is to identify
gaps in the housing and homeless service system and generate resources and partnerships to fill
these gaps.
• Delaware County established a Block Grant Advisory Committee comprised of stakeholders
representing both professionals and recipients of services.
• Fulton County formed a planning team for Block Grant services, improving relationships among the
agencies funded by the Block Grant.
• Greene County created a criminal justice workgroup made up of stakeholders with an interest in
serving Criminal Justice consumers.
• McKean County established a County Planning Team, focusing on a collaborative approach to
serving consumers who are experiencing trauma, sharing training resources and researching new
approaches to care.
• Schuylkill County has created the Human Service Block Grant Executive Team which has enabled it
to streamline the planning process for designing, funding, and implementing joint projects.

3. FLEXIBILITY PROVIDED BY THE BLOCK GRANT
The Block Grant is not a program but a funding mechanism, which has allowed counties greater
flexibility in determining priority human services needs within the community and aligning funding to
address those needs.
In FY 2013/14, counties were required to expend at least 75 percent of their allocated funds within the
respective areas of Community Based Mental Health Services, Intellectual Disability Services, Child
Welfare Services, Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Prevention Services and Homeless Assistance
Services. The remaining 25 percent of the allocated funds could be reallocated to service areas
determined by the county through their needs assessment and planning process.
Counties could request a waiver of the minimum funding levels. Initially, no counties requested a
waiver. Near the end of the fiscal year, Fulton County requested a waiver of the minimum expenditure
requirement for Intellectual Disabilities. The county requested to move an additional $20,546 outside
the minimum expenditure requirement to support Homeless Assistance programs, Children and Youth
Special Grants, Drug and Alcohol Prevention services and Adult Transportation and Interagency
Coordination funded through the Human Services Development Fund. This waiver was approved by the
Department.
The Block Grant provides counties the ability to address locally-identified needs. Human service
needs can vary from county to county and from year to year depending on many variables. Below are
several illustrations:
3.1 Counties Respond To Increases In Demand For Homeless Assistance: The unusually harsh
winter conditions which occurred throughout the commonwealth in the winter of 2013/14 caused
emergency declarations to be made in a number of locations and an increase in demand for Homeless
Assistance in many counties. Without the Block Grant, many counties reported that they would have
run out of Homeless Assistance Program funds prior to the end of winter. For example, Montgomery
County augmented their homeless assistance program during the coldest months by purchasing
additional cots, blankets, and food, which expanded capacity to meet emergency needs. Potter County
reported that Block Grant funding enabled them to maintain a housing program for individuals released
from jail or hospitals in order to assist them in transitioning back into the community. Schuylkill County
used Block Grant funding to continue staffing bridge housing. Lancaster County created a coordinated
assessment program to serve a growing number of families experiencing homelessness.

3.2 Counties Respond To Increased Substance Abuse: Recognizing major increases in substance
abuse – specifically, prescription and illegal opioid abuse – counties throughout Pennsylvania have been
proactive in using Block Grant funding to implement substance abuse prevention, intervention,
assessment, and treatment services. Tioga County implemented a six-month, in-home critical care
program for substance abusers. Many counties increased coordination across human service programs
to address D&A issues, which tend to correlate with criminal re-incarceration, mental health,
homelessness and children and youth welfare needs. For example, Wayne County reported reduced
prison recidivism following person-centered changes made to its D&A funding, with a rate of 21% for
those completing treatment. Additional Block Grant funding allowed individuals to receive treatment
and prevention services they otherwise would not have had access to, eliminating waiting lists in many
counties and continuing uninterrupted services for those already in a program. Delaware County
reported that without flexible Block Grant funding, D&A services would have needed to be cut mid-year.
Beaver County reported being able to serve 172 additional D&A clients within certain prescribed levels
of care including: Hospital Base Detox, Hospital Based Rehabilitation, Non-Hospital Rehabilitation,
Halfway House placement, and Intensive Outpatient services.
3.3 Counties Respond To The Needs Of Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities: Governor
Corbett has made supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and their loved ones a top priority
of his administration. To date, the Corbett Administration has invested an additional $199 million in
total state and federal dollars to reduce the Intellectual Disability Waiting List and provide home and
community-based services for 3,310 additional individuals with intellectual disabilities. Counties have
used Block Grant funding to support additional services for individuals with intellectual disabilities that
complement the Governor’s initiatives. In Wayne County, human service staff has been able to connect
12 percent of its ID caseload (25 clients) with meaningful, competitive employment using Block Grant
funding. The County reports that this number has more than doubled in the last year. Other counties
have also invested in employment initiatives for individuals with disabilities including Blair County,
which implemented a transitional employment project that aims to enrich high school graduates as they
transition out of school. Butler County used Block Grant funding to start a new program serving young
adults with intellectual disabilities including autism, now serving 18 county residents with increasing
referrals. Students are trained and coached to develop necessary vocational skills before they graduate
high school.
Appendix C includes a county-by-county summary of additional ways counties have reinvested Block
Grant dollars to meet their local needs.

4. CONCLUSIONS
The human service needs of counties can change dramatically from year to year depending on variables
largely outside the control of program administrators. County human service administrators and
stakeholders work to anticipate future needs through a transparent Block Grant planning process;
however, some needs cannot be fully anticipated. For example, last year’s harsh winter resulted in
several state and local declarations of emergency and strained state and county resources. Many
county homeless assistance programs experienced extraordinary demand during the colder months.
Similarly, many Pennsylvania counties are experiencing unprecedented growth in prescription and illegal
opioid abuse. The flexibility provided by the Block Grant means that counties are able to extend and
maintain services instead of suspending programs due to lack of funding.
Counties and the Department have also recognized the need for greater standardization in the methods
used to count individuals who use human service programs. Methodologies used by counties can vary
considerably:
• Various human service programs within a single county may use different counting
methodologies depending on how service is provided. For example, a child welfare program
may have a unique identifier for each program recipient while a homeless assistance program
which services a more transient population may simply count the number of individuals filling
beds each night.
• There are some programs such as Family Group Decision Making within Child Welfare where it
may be general practice for a county to count families as opposed to specific individuals. In this
example, the county may be reporting a client number based upon number of families served;
therefore the count is not a true “individual” count, it is a combination of individuals and
families.
• If a county institutes a holistic, person-centered approach to care to help those individuals who
use multiple county human service programs, it may count each individual once regardless of
how many programs he or she uses, or it may count the individual once in each program, or
even once for each type of service within a program.
• Within a given human service program, counting methodologies may vary from county to
county.
In the coming months, the Department will convene a working group made up of representatives from
Block Grant and non-Block Grant counties, as well as officials from County Commissioners Association
of Pennsylvania (CCAP), to make recommendations to the agency on how counties can improve and
standardize data collection. Standardized counting methodologies will enable increasingly effective
measurement of county human service programs.

APPENDIX C: SUMMARY OF COUNTY NARRATIVES
Along with their required reporting metrics, Block Grant counties were asked to voluntarily submit to
the Department a narrative of how they used Block Grant funding to meet their local needs. These were
submitted by counties for inclusion in this report. The Department received narratives in many formats.
A summary of each county’s submission appears below. These have been included in order to provide a
further illustration of how counties are using Block Grant funding. It is important to note that counties
may operate on a fiscal year that is different than the Commonwealth’s July to June fiscal year.
Programmatic and administrative reforms which appear below may include numbers based on the
county’s calendar year or may even encompass a longer-term period. Further, many human service
reforms reported in these narratives encompass programs beyond, or overlapping with, those funded
within the Block Grant. Additionally, some of the reporting referenced in the narratives point to specific
programs or particular components of a program within a broader category. Therefore, numbers of
individuals served reflected in the narratives below may or may not be reflective of the counts provided
in Appendix A. While the allocations and expenditure reports that appear in Appendix B are required by
the Department and therefore standardized by a reporting period that compliments the
Commonwealth’s fiscal year, any expenditures submitted voluntarily by the counties in the narratives
below may not match the reporting in Appendix B.

Allegheny County
Allegheny County supplemented its Homeless Assistance Program with flexible Block Grant funds
through a collaborative effort with the University Of Pittsburgh (UP) and the Office of Child
Development (OCD). The county implemented case management for families with children in
emergency shelters. Analysis of individuals within the homeless system highlighted the need for
additional human services including mental health, drug and alcohol, and food stamp assistance.
Through support planning, hiring additional case management staff, coordination to help maintain other
benefits (MA, TANF, SNAP), and housing assistance, over 60 families lives were enhanced.
Allegheny County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant
funds support of 2 Adult Day Reporting Centers (DRC). The county was able to serve over 500
individuals within the criminal justice system by linking inmates to re-entry specialists and probation
officers. Through these efforts, the county was able to enhance the planning and supervision needed
for more successful re-entry into the community, greatly reducing the probability of re-arrest. DRC’s
provide a central hub of social services while at the same time acting as a home base for mobile
probation officers. This location centric support, along with mandated program attendance for
offenders, has produced lower rates of recidivism for participants.
Allegheny County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant
funds by recognizing the need to augment assistance for its growing refugee and immigrant
communities. Identifying a need for psychosocial support, the county has trained and mentored
community facilitators who lead support groups in members’ language. These groups address concerns
not effectively addressed by the current, formal service system and help transition individuals/families
into the local community. This was a collaborative effort between local organizations and higher
education institutes (UP & Duquesne University). Another collaborative effort with several community
based agencies allowed for the Immigrant Services and Connections (ISAC) to served 657 individuals in
the first six months of FY 2013/14 with a variety of service needs, including health, food, housing,
employment, education, and legal assistance. Additional objectives met included strengthening
interagency collaboration, enhancing capacity within the human services network, and overcoming
challenges specific to unique cultural and language issues.
Beaver County
Beaver County supplemented its Homeless Assistance Program with flexible Block Grant funds after
draining financial resources throughout the winter of FY 2013/14. Not only were 30 unduplicated
individuals provided extended service from May 1 to June 30 of 2014, but were also provided with food
certificates and transportation vouchers. These services have aided in providing stability and continued
good health to these individuals. Many of these individuals have taken advantage of additional service
offerings through counseling with case managers and budget counselors.
Act 80 of 2012 Human Services Block Grant Program- Report of the Expenditures of Block Grant Funds by County Governments November 2014
Page 45 of 54
Beaver County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant funds
through the county’s Office on Aging’s Home Safe Program, providing home modifications (safety and
accessibility) through licensed contractors to older adults and persons with disabilities. These
modifications often delay or prevent nursing home admissions, improving quality of life and reducing
the need for Medical Assistance.
Beaver County supplemented its Intellectual Disabilities Base Funding with flexible Block Grant funds,
preventing the furlough of two supports coordinators serving a caseload of 50 individuals with
disabilities each. These coordinators link clients with appropriate providers and resources throughout
the continuum of intellectual disability services, while ensuring that the care provided is safe, effective,
client-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. The furlough would have resulted in an increased
caseload for remaining coordinators, thus decreasing case management time and level of care for all
individuals within the county’s MH/ID system.
Beaver County supplemented its Drug and Alcohol services with flexible Block Grant funds through
augmenting Intervention and Prevention services. Community based outreach and classroom
curriculum based programs, including Student Assistance Program (SAP) individuals who are identified
as at-risk and referred for evaluation and treatment, allowed for 536 additional hours of Drug & Alcohol
Prevention and Intervention services. Not only do these services increase knowledge and awareness on
the dangers/harmful effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, but a high percentage of individuals
receiving these services have co-occurring MH/ID needs, thus enhancing service needs across the
spectrum of human service categories. In addition, services were extended to 172 clients for Hospital
Based and Non-Hospital Based Rehabilitation, Hospital Based and Non-Hospital Based Detox, Halfway
House placement, and Intensive Outpatient services. Without the Block Grant flexibility, these
individuals would have gone without the prescribed level of treatment.
Berks County
Berks County supplemented its Behavioral Health Services Initiative with flexible Block Grant funds,
eliminating its waiting list for drug and alcohol rehabilitation and detoxification services by assisting 52
additional individuals with a combined 410 clinically appropriate days of rehabilitation and
detoxification. Without this flexible funding, treatment would have needed to be deferred or denied.
Blair County
Blair County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant funds by
providing the remaining resources needed in allowing Contact Altoona to maintain Blair County’s
Reassurance Program, Helpline Services, and 211 Services throughout FY 2013/14 (6200 calls April –
June 2014). This is a service which makes phone calls to at-risk individuals to assure medication
compliance and other care coordination services. Successful care management reduces the incidence of
health care crises for at-risk individuals.
Act 80 of 2012 Human Services Block Grant Program- Report of the Expenditures of Block Grant Funds by County Governments November 2014
Page 46 of 54
Blair County supplemented its Drug and Alcohol Partnerships with flexible Block Grant funds, creating
additional slots for residential and community based services in June 2014. These openings provided
241 unduplicated individuals with D&A treatment, resulting in 11 detoxifications, 8 short term and 10
long term residential treatments, 1 halfway house placement, 44 outpatient slots, 21 intensive
outpatient slots, and 44 methadone slots.
Bucks County
Bucks County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant funds to
invest in start-up costs for a Mobile Crisis Unit that allows the county to provide critical services in the
field to individuals in crisis.
Butler County
Butler County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant funds to
support various cross-systems programs, including evidence-based programs, as well as interagency
coordination efforts and initiatives. Public/private partnerships were enhanced such as the Utility Single
Point of Contact to assist households (many including elderly or young children) facing utility shut-offs.
Programs in support of integrating the county’s service system were enhanced, such as Trauma
Informed Care which is an evidence-based practice resulting in better treatment outcomes, improved
safety, and decreased utilization of crisis based services for those involved. The additional HSDF support
was also utilized to leverage funding from various public and private sources, including: a $5,000 grant
from the State of Pennsylvania to support the implementation of youth led prevention and mentoring
program in area schools; $25,000 from a private grantor and $25,000 from the United Way to support
the Employment Transformation Project examining gaps in employment services to strategically plan for
improvements in services with the ultimate goal of increasing and maintaining gainful employment.
Butler County supplemented its Drug and Alcohol treatment services with flexible Block Grant funds.
Approximately 138 individuals received treatment than otherwise would have, many reporting heroin as
their drug of choice (17% increase over three years) leading to more intensive and costly treatment.
Butler County supplemented its Homeless Assistance Program with flexible Block Grant funds by
enhancing services to address increasing needs. Across the county, FY 2013/14 saw a 59% increase in
waiting lists for various homeless programs. Funds were used to leverage private dollars to operate a
winter shelter for homeless individuals and families. This allowed for an increase in the provision of 629
bed nights of shelter as compared to 131 the year prior. The county also supported one if its provider
organizations in the purchase and renovation of a building used for transitional housing for homeless
young men, located closer to case management offices, cutting down on travel and increasing the
program’s efficiency. Finally, the county implemented a coordinated assessment and central intake
process, a major priority for the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, allowing
individuals to be connected with appropriate levels of homeless services in a shorter timeframe.

Cambria County
Cambria County supplemented its Intellectual Disabilities with flexible Block Grant funds, allowing the
county to better serve individuals on a case by case, emergent care basis. Specifically, the county has
been able to use the funds to incorporate stop gap measures to support individuals between programs
and funding streams, preventing unnecessary lack of services in the interim until funding is made
available through more traditional funding streams.
Cambria County supplemented its Drug and Alcohol funding with flexible Block Grant funds to combat
a significant and rapid increase in drug use among its residents. The flexible Block Grant funds have
allowed the county to provide treatment to its residents, and eliminate, for the first year in many, all
residents on their drug and alcohol services waitlist.
Cambria County supplemented its Mental Health programs with flexible Block Grant funds to provide
alternative residential treatment for an individual with unique needs as a result of sensory deprivations
from birth. Prior placements have demonstrated marginal success, and by providing additional funding
and leveraging a contribution from his current provider, C&Y is able to support this individual as he ages
out of the juvenile system until a waiver slot becomes available.
Centre County
Centre County supplemented its Drug and Alcohol services with flexible Block Grant funds by
increasing commitments to outpatient treatment providers. Increased inpatient referrals were
eliminating the balance between inpatient and outpatient services, and the additional funding assures
uninterrupted service to individuals with addiction diagnosis, needed mainly due to the rising trend in
heroin and opiate use amongst its residents.
Centre County supplemented its Homeless Assistance Program with flexible Block Grant funds by
providing case management services to families requiring urgent housing assistance due to multiple
mobile home park closures. All families were able to find alternative housing by the time each park
closed.
Centre County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant funds
through coordinating assistance programs and by funding an Information and Referral line for residents
that need Human Services assistance. The Information and Referral line links residents to necessary
resources throughout the county, including assistance with shelter, rent, fuel, medical, and other basic
care needs, providing 24 / 7 / 365 coverage. The county’s Basic Needs Case Management program
served an additional 316 individuals with benefit coordination and aid to homeless individuals and
struggling poor. In addition $41,792 was raised in local funds to keep families in their homes and help
with bills.

increases of over 20% in residential treatment admissions for opiates and residential treatment for
individuals with co-occurring MH and D&A disorders, serving an additional 105 individuals.
Chester County supplemented its Information and Referral Services with flexible Block Grant funds to
address a growing need for an information and referral site by using funds to cover start-up costs for
building a community presence. This year, 496 unduplicated individuals were served.
Chester County supplemented its Child, Youth, and Family services with flexible Block Grant funds
focusing on family development. Continued service was provided to five families who had children
completing involvement in Juvenile Probation and/or CYF programs (Youth and Family Teams and Multi-
Systemic Therapy).
Chester County supplemented its Workforce Development/Process Improvement with flexible Block
Grant funds to improve staff development and retention by providing training and technical support.
Process improvements have been focused to date on Drug & Alcohol programs and aging services.
Crawford County
Crawford County supplemented its Mental Health funding with flexible Block Grant funds by
supporting the Quality Living Center (QLC) which provides local alternate bed space in helping to reduce
reliance on state hospitals for those with MH and ID needs.
Crawford County supplemented its Pennsylvania Promising Practices (PAPP) Intensive Family support
with flexible Block Grant funds by serving 17 families with youth, allowing the family to remain intact
and eliminating the need for out of home placement.
Dauphin County
Dauphin County supplemented its Drug and Alcohol services with flexible Block Grant funds to help
address the increasing use of heroin in the county. The county was able to serve 88 additional clients
with detox services; 79 additional clients received inpatient services; 6 additional clients received
halfway house services; and 67 additional individuals received Drug & Alcohol assessments.
Dauphin County supplemented its Homeless Assistance Program with flexible Block Grant funds
through helping to sustain HAP providers as well as facility enhancements. Modifications were
completed allowing the county to bring its only family shelter care facility up to the American with
Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance standards by installing handicap accessible bathrooms and bedroom
facilities.
Act 80 of 2012 Human Services Block Grant Program- Report of the Expenditures of Block Grant Funds by County Governments November 2014
Page 49 of 54
Dauphin County supplemented its Human Services Development Fund with flexible Block Grant funds
by collecting detailed outcomes across all Block Grant funded services and creating a funding formula
that measures program effectiveness for all human services. An online database was funded to help
connect callers to 211 with help in identifying services specific to an individual needs. In addition, the
County provided an aide to a resident who required complex special needs assistance, allowing the
individual to remain in her own home by assisting with aspects of daily life. This assistance included
meal preparation and medication assistance as well as aiding in community interaction through
providing transportation.
Delaware County
Delaware County supplemented its Drug and Alcohol programs with flexible Block Grant funds,
ensuring that its D&A program remained opened for all of FY 2013/14. Historically, Drug & Alcohol
funding would run out within any given fiscal year. By shifting available funds into D&A, an additional
383 individuals were able to receive services. Notably, 163 more individuals were provided detox
services, significantly reducing the number of visits to Crisis or the Emergency Room by impaired
individuals.
Delaware County supplemented its Homeless Assistance Program with flexible Block Grant funds to
better fulfill FY2013/14 homeless funding priorities. The county used flexible Block Grant funds to keep
all 7 of its shelter programs open throughout the year.
Erie County
Erie County did not submit an account of the transfer of funds for FY 2013/14.

These programs were created to meet evolving needs throughout the year as identified by working in
partnership with the county and the provider community. Issues were addressed across the spectrum
of Human Service needs, influencing hundreds of participants.

Wayne County
Wayne County highlighted the flexibility of Block Grant spending through coordinating feedback from
consumers and the community to address specific county needs. The community issues needing the
most attention and benefiting most from inter and intra category spending are:
Drug & Alcohol Services: Shifted categorical D&A funds that would have been forfeited in the past due
to their restrictive nature and a) added a licensed treatment component to D&A intervention for the
county correctional facility already in place with a to date recidivism rate of 21% and b) developed D&A
evidence-based parenting classes hosting a total of 18 families.

shadowing, and temporary subsidizing of employment among those with a disability and other
transitional youth. Collaborated with multiple county and private agencies to increase access by
providing transportation and develop training sites. Through these efforts, the number of individuals
with an intellectual disability that are engaged in meaningful unsubsidized employment rose from 12 to
