Adequately Funding and Reimbursing Residential Services : Promising Practices

How do agencies develop reimbursement formulas for residential services?

What costs do jurisdictions consider allowable? Do any national standards, guidelines, or benchmarks guide the reimbursement process?

This monograph, a product of the Child Welfare League of America and the National Organization of State Associations for Children(1)s Residential Reimbursement Project, seeks to answer these questions and help funders and agencies create a strong reimbursement process that assures fair accountability and high quality care for children.
