OFFICE of INTRA-DEPARTMENTAL RELATIONS
This office was formed specifically to help DAS after its transfer in April 2004 from the Department of Health and Senior Services to the Department of Human Services. This move signified a positive step to educate the Department's divisions that serve substance abusing clients under one department, leading to more efficient service delivery, increased integration of policy and collaboration among those department programs serving individuals and families in need. The Office of Intradepartmental Relations is responsible for ensuring that substance abuse issues within the Child Welfare Reform Plan (CWRP) are addressed and that accompanying implementation tasks are accomplished. Tasks involve coordinating interdivisional meetings around CWRP and substance abuse, ensuring enforceables are met, assisting DAS in developing partnerships around these tasks with other divisions and offices, assessing how other divisions are accessing/utilizing CWRP substance abuse treatment services, and assessing policies related to substance abuse services across systems. The Director also represents DAS on various committees, including the Special Needs Housing Trust Fund Committee, and the Homeless Policy Academy . This office is also charged to develop, publish and promulgate new or revised licensing standards for residential and outpatient substance abuse treatment facilities, as well as all other regulations pertinent to the Division. |
