POLICY BRIEF SERIES
Spring 2018
New York State Policy on Child Welfare and Two-
Generation Approaches
By Nora Smithhisler, Cornell University
Who develops New York’s child welfare
policy?
New York State Office of Children and Family Services
(OCFS) has multiple state agencies committed to various
formats of child welfare, including the Division of Child
Care Services (DCCS), Division of Child Welfare and
Community Services (DCWCS), and Division of Juvenile
Justice and Opportunities for Youth (DJJOY).
What two-generation programs does New
York offer?
New York is increasing its two-generational approach to
child and adult poverty through programs like the Child
Care Subsidy Program, the NYS Close to Home initiative,
Healthy Families NY, Advantage and Empire After
School Programs, and state-sponsored pre-schools,
among others. These programs are overseen by the
Office of Child and Family Services, and rely on state
funds to provide a large portion of their services,
supplemented by federal grants and philanthropic
organizations.
Do these programs work?
The Division of Child Welfare and Community Services
runs annual program evaluations, reporting back to the
OCFS and the state assembly, to ensure continued
funding. Healthy Families New York is a program that
offers home visiting services, providing parents with
prenatal education and support in bonding with and
monitoring their young children for developmental
milestones [2]. It has been classified by the federal
government as an evidence-based program, having
been evaluated for over fifteen years in research
control trials and improved continuously through the
monitoring of performance measures [3].
Measurements of success include 50% reduction in
subsequent confirmed child protective (CPS) reports in
home-visited families, a 50% reduction in children
repeating first grade, and an increase in parents utilizing
strategies to engage with their children and discipline
them non-violently. This support of both parents and
children together has resulted in triple the returns on
investment by the child’s seventh birthday,
demonstrating that the money spent on helping parents
and children develop knowledge and stability in their
lives saves the state money [4].

“The Division of Child Welfare and
Community Services has a strong sense
of urgency to improve our safety,
prevention, permanency and well-
being outcomes.”

Office of Child and Family Services

New York State Policy on Child Welfare and Two-Generation Approaches

  • 1. POLICY BRIEF SERIES Spring 2018 New York State Policy on Child Welfare and Two- Generation Approaches By Nora Smithhisler, Cornell University Who develops New York’s child welfare policy? New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) has multiple state agencies committed to various formats of child welfare, including the Division of Child Care Services (DCCS), Division of Child Welfare and Community Services (DCWCS), and Division of Juvenile Justice and Opportunities for Youth (DJJOY). What two-generation programs does New York offer? New York is increasing its two-generational approach to child and adult poverty through programs like the Child Care Subsidy Program, the NYS Close to Home initiative, Healthy Families NY, Advantage and Empire After School Programs, and state-sponsored pre-schools, among others. These programs are overseen by the Office of Child and Family Services, and rely on state funds to provide a large portion of their services, supplemented by federal grants and philanthropic organizations. Do these programs work? The Division of Child Welfare and Community Services runs annual program evaluations, reporting back to the OCFS and the state assembly, to ensure continued funding. Healthy Families New York is a program that offers home visiting services, providing parents with prenatal education and support in bonding with and monitoring their young children for developmental milestones [2]. It has been classified by the federal government as an evidence-based program, having been evaluated for over fifteen years in research control trials and improved continuously through the monitoring of performance measures [3]. Measurements of success include 50% reduction in subsequent confirmed child protective (CPS) reports in home-visited families, a 50% reduction in children repeating first grade, and an increase in parents utilizing strategies to engage with their children and discipline them non-violently. This support of both parents and children together has resulted in triple the returns on investment by the child’s seventh birthday, demonstrating that the money spent on helping parents and children develop knowledge and stability in their lives saves the state money [4].
