The Florida Department of Children and Families in collaboration with Kids Central has been selected as one of three national sites funded by the Children's Bureau to implement a demonstration project which focuses on promising privatization practices on child welfare outcomes. Our project will investigate the impact of creating a shared vision with Case Management Agencies through an inclusive planning and contract negotiation process which establishes clear performance outcome expectations with appropriate performance incentives and disincentives. In addition, the project will review the effect of revising quality assurance processes to closely tie with the newly developed outcome expectations.

The project will undergo a thorough and rigorous evaluation which will be performed by J.K. Elder & Associates.
