The Resource Development Unit was developed to enhance the delivery of an adequate array of services in the state through maximizing the use of existing services and coordinating the development of new services through contracts, collaboration with other agencies and service providers, and coordination of service/resource related work within DFCS and the state as a whole.
The Resource Development Unit will ensure the compatibility of existing services and newly created services with DFCS' required principles and practices.
The Resource Development Unit, through proactive planning and development, prepares for current and future service needs and implementation of the plan for efficient and effective service delivery. The Unit not only addresses existing service needs within DFCS units, and seeks services that address needs for all children and their families and works to make these services available and easily accessible. Other functions include addressing issues related to service provision, contracting procedures, protocols and practices, and the substance of services provided.
Communication and collaboration are keys to reaching the success desired for all children and their families.
DFCS Regions are responsible for establishing a strategic plan to improve service delivery to DFCS clients. The primary goal is connecting people to resources for the purpose of helping children and families achieve success.
The Resource Development Unit will collaborate with the regions in efforts to strategically increase service delivery in each Region.
