Objectives

  • Understand the steps to develop a cradle to career fund matrix & fund map.
  • Learn how, through connecting investments to results, a fund map may

include a review of result indicator data to document trends in investments and corresponding results over time.

  • Learn how system of care sites have used the cradle to career behavioral

health fund mapping process to advance their community-based service array development and financing strategies.

  • Learn how the process of researching, preparing and analyzing the fund

map can enhance communication and collaboration between cross-system program and fiscal staff as well as families and youth.

USDA Report on Expenditures on Children by Families

  • Along with wise budgeting

families, the federal government calculates the cost of raising a child.

  • Since 1960, the United

States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has estimated both annual child-rearing expenses by age and the cumulative cost

  • f raising a child from birth

through age 17.

  • In its January 2017 report,

USDA reports on 2015 expenses to raise a child.

$9,690 $9,700 $9,330 $9,960 $9,570 $9,980 $12,680 $12,730 $12,350 $13,180 $13,030 $13,900 $19,770 $19,790 $19,380 $20,700 $21,050 $23,380 $0 $5,000 $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 $25,000 Aged 0-2 Aged 3-5 Aged 6-8 Aged 9-11 Aged 12-14 Aged 15-17

2015 1960

  • The 3 largest spending categories of housing, food and transportation account for 62% of total expenses.
  • Identifying budget trend data helps a family pinpoint the need for added income, areas of possible over-spending and
  • ther opportunities to save money for the future.
  • The USDA report provides fiscal trend data back to 1960 in changes in the cost to raise a child, which can highlight

spending areas that are increasingly squeezing a family’s budget, as well as broader economic or societal trends.

Children’s Budgets, Fund Matrices, or Budget Matrices

  • Children’s budgets have been developed by local governments to examine

citywide investments, including by Baltimore, Charlotte, and Seattle.

  • Children’s budgets are also prepared at the state level to report on statewide

spending, including by the State of Maryland (see Appendix K) and the New Mexico Children’s Cabinet, as well as by statewide child advocacy groups, including in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Utah.

  • National child advocacy organizations also produce children’s budgets that look

at federal spending on children and youth nationwide, including First Focus: Campaign for Children and The Urban Institute Kids’ Share project.

  • The children’s budget process is similar to and is the foundation of the fund

mapping process.

SLIDE 9

What are the pros and cons to creating a budget matrix & fund map for a local jurisdiction or region?

  • Challenge: The State controls the Medicaid dollars and may

control the child welfare, juvenile justice, education, and

  • ther funds.
  • Benefit:
  • Identify specific gap areas in the budget
  • See how discretionary funds and local and philanthropic funds are

used and look for areas of duplication

  • Be more informed about where there are areas of local control
  • Make more informed decisions about resource allocation based on

priorities

What do we mean by the phrase, Cradle to Career?

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Cradle to Career Fund Maps Build on Children’s Budgets

  • With more detailed fiscal analysis and a results-based framework, cradle to

career fund mapping expands on a children’s budget.

  • Ideally, the fund map analyzes funding sources, e.g., federal, state and local

funds, in addition to spending.

  • A cradle to career fund map may include a review of result indicator data

to document trends in investments and corresponding results over time, e.g., Maternal and Children Health spending trends vs. infant mortality or rates of babies born with low birth weight

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Children’s Fund Matrices Help You to See the Big Picture

  • The multi-year fund mapping process

informed the strategic planning of Baltimore’s Promise, which was initially supported with jump-start funding from the new investor partners.

  • The findings of the fund map

demonstrated a fully resourced cradle to career continuum in Baltimore City and supported the messaging after the civil unrest for a successful 2016 City charter amendment to establish a continuing, dedicated $12 million Children and Youth Fund.

Analyze Spending by Major Function: Preventive, Maintenance, & Corrective

  • Tracking trends in spending by major

function can document progress in shifting resources from “deep-end,” restrictive and expensive programs to proven, “front-end” preventive efforts.

  • For example, in suburban Washington,

D.C., in Prince George’s County, Maryland, cradle to career preventive spending increased by $146 million from FY 2013 to FY 2015, while corrective spending increased by $95 million.

Preventive, $934,199,194 Preventive, $925,942,041 Preventive, $1,071,640,305 Maintenance, $1,154,833,531 Maintenance, $1,235,374,292 Maintenance, $1,282,818,479 Corrective, $646,328,174 Corrective, $687,323,449 Corrective, $782,527,213 $0 $500,000,000 $1,000,000,000 $1,500,000,000 $2,000,000,000 $2,500,000,000 $3,000,000,000 $3,500,000,000 FY 2011 FY 2013 FY 2015

Analyze Spending by Specific Function: Large Categories of Services

  • Reporting on trends in spending by function can help to align priorities with investments.
  • This analysis can also highlight effects of policy changes.
  • Broader economic trends are also highlighted with the relatively high FY 2011 spending for

Health and Human Services as Baltimore City experienced the lingering effects of the Great Recession of 2007-2009 and Medicaid and SNAP caseloads remained high.

Philanthropic Investments

  • A survey of foundations can reveal a

broad range of philanthropic investments and engage foundations to sustain support.

  • Reporting philanthropic investments

and public spending also demonstrates the relative levels of support and the importance of public funding to a fully funded environment.

SLIDE 19

“Skin in the Game”

  • With funding source data, the

fund map can track change in spending per child and compare to growth in revenue and inflation.

  • This analysis can help determine

whether investments in children and youth received a “fair share”

  • f revenue and budget growth.
  • In Stark County, Ohio, including

the City of Canton, per child spending growth far outpaced the regional inflation rate and local and state per child spending grew faster than local and state revenue.

Advocacy Tool

  • With new restrictions being

debated and new requirements being implemented, funding for services for working families and vulnerable children and adults is threatened.

  • By reporting on the local

benefits of these funding streams, the fund map data can build support for these entitlement programs.

  • To facilitate “hot-spotting” analysis, the

fund map can zoom in to spending at the neighborhood or zip code level.

  • 2 zip codes with large drops in NICU

charges coincided with targeted neighborhood interventions, including a Promise Neighborhood administered by the University of Maryland School of Social Work and a neighborhood participating in the Johns Hopkins Community Health Partnership initiative.

The Stark MHAR Perspective: Initial Concerns

  • Availability of data
  • Staff capacity to devote towards data compilation
  • Partner willingness/ability to share data
  • Coordination of data from multiple organizations

(i.e. Stark County has 17 distinct school districts)

  • Partner willingness to investigate cost saving

strategies

slide-30
SLIDE 30

The Stark MHAR Perspective

  • How Process Addressed Concerns:
  • Consultant used public records and public record requests to access available data; consultant

synthesized requests for partner data so that grantee staff could provide detailed guidance when needed.

  • Use of consultant drastically decreased the amount of staff time needed to complete the

process.

  • Grantee staff coordinated informational meetings to educate partner executive level leaders on

purpose and goals of fund mapping; offered an opportunity for stakeholders to ask questions and/or voice concerns; answered said questions and concerns with assistance from consultant.

  • Asked partner organizations to assist with compilation of disconnected data (The local

educational service center helped to coordinate data from individual school districts).

  • Still working through how cost saving strategies may or may not fit into future systemic

decisions.

  • Fund Mapping and Sustainability: Grantee will convene committee of partner

stakeholders over Year III of the grant to discuss how the final report will be utilized for sustainability. Plans are to hold a minimum of 1 meeting per quarter—with more meetings being scheduled as needed.

  • While only a portion of services would be eligible,

project staff identified a potential county FY 2017 cost pool for Medicaid-eligible services of $105.2 million, or spending on Special Education and School Psychologists and Psychological Services.

  • In that year, 29% of county special education students

were enrolled in Canton City district, with 59% of those students Medicaid-eligible.

  • Total FY 2017 spending in Canton City for Special

Education was $18.9 million, with $1.5 million for Special Education: Multiple Disabilities and $730,791 for Special Education: Severe Behavior Handicapped; while spending on Psychological Services was $1.1 million.

What did Stark County’s fund maps tell us?

  • School-based services accounted for 3 of 5 service types with the highest FY17

expenditures

  • Individual and group counseling had second highest FY17 spending at $5.3 million; Case

Management rounded out top five at $3.4 million.

  • “Deep-end” spending on residential treatment, including group homes, for foster

children dropped from $2.7 million in FY14 to $666,418 in FY17; and spending on psychiatric hospitalization dropped to $290,835 from $410,318 in FY14.

  • At the same time, “front-end” spending on services for SOC populations of focus was

stable or increased.

  • As spending dropped on restrictive settings, new investments were made in resiliency

services

Status & Challenges

  • Data have been received from all agencies other than juvenile justice

and Medicaid (pending)

  • Challenges include:
  • Small government agencies with limited resources to assist
  • Many of the children will not be captured in the Medicaid funds because they

have other insurance types: approximately 1/3 of the population are Medicaid recipients, 1/3 have commercial insurance, and 1/3 are covered by Tricare.

  • Young children do not access the public child & family serving systems as much

as older children and service utilization data may not reflect need or even usage

  • f services that are provided through the schools or community organizations
  • Caregivers may be the primary recipients of the services, which would not be

captured in the data set

Supporting BRIDGE’s SOC Grant Financing Plan

Half of the recommendations will be supported by the fund map that is currently under development:

  • 3. Conduct a comprehensive assessment of current

financing for early childhood initiatives in Southern Maryland.

  • 4. Encourage Medicaid billing for BRIDGE services.
  • 5. Explore opportunities to maximize funding

through Part C and Child Find of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

  • 6. Explore Medicaid reimbursement opportunities

for Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (ECHMC) and Enhanced Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (E-ECMHC).

You’ve decided to create a budget matrix & fund map…Now what?

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Scope Should be Informed by Community Plans and Priorities

  • The populations of focus, targeted services and supports and goals and

strategies should inform the vision and design of the behavioral health fund map and strategic financing plan.

  • What are the priority services or evidence-based programs targeted for which

populations of focus?

  • What service or funding gaps would be particularly important to document

through the fund map process?

  • What are the funding strategies highlighted or identified in existing plans?
  • What are the needed elements for a strategic financing plan?
  • Which types of fiscal analyses would best support the strategic financing plan?
slide-44
SLIDE 44

Identify Geographic Area, Partners & Timeframe

  • What is the geographic area of focus? County? Region?
  • Build on existing partners. To help with buy-in,

integrate the fund mapping into an existing grant or initiative.

  • To capture changes over time and trends, review more

than one fiscal year. Consider timing of important reorganizations, program changes, or shift in responsibility.

slide-45
SLIDE 45

What is your population of focus?

  • What are the populations of focus for current grants or

initiatives?

  • Are there demographic characteristics (i.e. age) as well as special

characteristics or experiences of the population (e.g. youth at-risk

  • f placement in psychiatric residential treatment facilities)?
  • The population of focus should guide the high priority

investments surveyed but should not necessarily limit the population under review. Example: The population of focus may be youth ages 11-21 with serious behavioral health needs, but the comprehensive review could focus on all children ages 0-21 with behavioral health needs.

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Select Sources of Funds to Survey

  • The simplest analysis would be limited to a review of funding sources corresponding to the

location of the fund map, e.g., county or municipal funding.

  • The reporting should be expanded to include state or federal funding for services and

programs in local agencies.

  • To get a fuller cross-system picture, the fund map should also include a review of state and

federal funding that supports local services or clients but is not passed through a local

  • agency. Example: Medicaid services for children served through a 1915(c) home- and

community-based services waiver for children with autism.

  • Some fund maps have included a survey of local foundations to determine related

philanthropic investments.

slide-47
SLIDE 47

Inventory Programs and Services

1. Work with partners to identify the services and programs to review for the fund map. 2. Use the Suggested Framework for Behavioral Health Programs to identify the programs from the framework that the fund map will review. a. For the fullest possible cross-system picture, the fund map could include all the programs in the Suggested Framework. b. If a comprehensive inventory is not feasible, program selection can be informed by the population of focus, targeted interventions and strategies. 3. With SOC population and strategies as criteria, identify any related and support services

  • r programs that will be reviewed.

4. Prepare a table like the Suggested Framework with the selected programs. 5. Customize the table for the jurisdiction with the appropriate program name for each program, service or intervention.

Don’t forget about Medicaid Reimbursement in Schools!

  • In FFY 2016, states claimed an estimated $4.5 billion in Medicaid reimbursement

for schools, with $3.3 billion in claims for school-based health services and $1.2 billion in claims for related administrative activities.

  • Medicaid will reimburse for services provided through an Individualized Education

Plan (IEP) or Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) for Infants and Toddlers when certain criteria are met. Medicaid will also reimburse evaluations to identify health-related needs for an IEP or IFSP and related administrative

  • activities. Covered services vary by state.
  • School-based health services that are provided through the Early and

Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) program are also reimbursed through Medicaid. These services provided through EPSDT may be claimed through Medicaid regardless of whether the service is specified as an eligible service in the Medicaid state plan.

  • Excel can process, sort, filter and report large amounts of data through its pivot table
  • functionality. Select – or highlight – the data on the master worksheet, including the

column labels in the header row and all columns and rows. Click Insert on the Excel menu bar, and then click Pivot Table. To insert the pivot table, in a new worksheet, which is recommended, click OK.

  • In the Pivot Table Fields option column on right side, check the box next to the primary

filter, e.g., Division/Agency. The pivot table tabulates and displays the agency names as distinct rows. In the Pivot Table Fields option column, Division/Agency populates the Rows box.

  • Click FYXX Amount for each fiscal year to report. The pivot table calculates sum of amounts

for each agency in a separate column and populates the Values box with the FYXX Amounts label.

  • When selecting multiple years, the amount for each year may default to the Rows option

box in Pivot Table Fields option column. To report the amounts in separate columns, drag and drop the drop-down menu label for each year from the Rows box to the Values option box.

  • With multiple selections, the value may default to Count instead of Sum. To change the

settings for the reporting of the amount, click the drop-down menu label in the Values box in Pivot Table Fields option column, then click Value Field Settings, and select Sum.

  • To change the number format to currency, click Number Format, select currency and click

OK twice.
