FCSS Annual Overview 2005 – Page 1

1. Introduction Alberta Children’s Services is pleased to provide the sixth edition of the Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) Annual Overview. This document provides a provincial summary of FCSS activities and is intended to assist municipalities and Métis Settlements by providing information to support the operation of local programs. FCSS is a unique 80/20 funding partnership between the Government of Alberta and participating municipalities or Métis Settlements. Provincially, the FCSS Program receives its mandate from the Family and Community Support Services Act and Regulation. The Regulation sets out the service requirements or broad parameters that a municipality or Settlement must meet to be eligible for funding. At the local level, a municipality or Métis Settlement Council chooses whether to establish a program and enters into an agreement with the province to jointly fund FCSS. Under FCSS, communities design and deliver social programs that are preventive in nature to promote and enhance well-being among individuals, families, and communities. The programs depend on community resources, often involving volunteers in management and delivery. In April 2000, Alberta Children’s Services began developing a database to assemble information collected from Annual FCSS Program Reports and reconciliation statements in a format where meaningful reports could be produced for municipalities and Métis Settlements, the Ministry, as well as other partners and stakeholders. Information included in the Annual Overview combines program reporting from municipalities and Métis Settlements. Municipalities operate on a January 1 to December 31 calendar year. 2005 Annual FCSS Program Reports were due on April 30, 2006. Métis Settlements operate on an April 1 to March 31 fiscal year. 2005-06 Annual FCSS Program Reports were due on July 31, 2006. When received, information included in these annual reports is reviewed, entered into a provincial FCSS database and reconciliation statements are prepared for each local FCSS program. Once all information has been entered and verified, the FCSS Annual Overview is produced. The current status of data entry is reflected in reports included in the FCSS Annual Overview 2005. Amounts may differ in future reports where data is updated. Also, due to rounding off of amounts, slight discrepancies in totals between figures may be noted.


2. Provincial Highlights FCSS Provincial Program Review In spring 2005, the Minister of Children’s Services, the Honourable Heather Forsyth, requested a Review of the Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) Program. The Review is intended to identify program strengths and opportunities for stronger collaboration and efficiencies that will enhance the level of support to children, youth and families. The Review focuses on the FCSS Program mandate, program and service duplication, program and service gaps, and program coordination and partnerships between FCSS, Child and Family Services Authorities and other community-based preventive social service resources. The Minister appointed George Rogers, MLA for Leduc-Beaumont-Devon, to lead the Review which is guided by an FCSS Review Advisory Committee including representatives of relevant stakeholder groups. FCSS Grants The total grant allocation budget for the FCSS Program in 2005-06 was $78.3 million with the province contributing $62.6 million (80%), and participating municipalities and Métis Settlements contributing $15.7 million (20%). The provincial grant increased by $1.5 million from the previous fiscal year. Alberta Children’s Services also provided grants to the Family and Community Support Services Association of Alberta for the Resource Bank and to the Canadian Outcomes Research Institute for the FCSS Making A Difference Outcome Evaluation System. Family and Community Support Services Association of Alberta The Family and Community Support Services Association of Alberta (FCSSAA) is a key partner of Alberta Children’s Services. Its mission is “to unite and strengthen the FCSS community by representation and advocacy on behalf of member boards.” A 17-member Board of Directors oversees operations. The role of the FCSSAA Board includes identifying common concerns and issues related to FCSS, communicating those issues, together with proposed solutions, to other members and to the provincial government, and supporting communities by developing tools to meet local needs and mandates. The FCSSAA Resource Bank is a resource centre, a reference library, and a communication network for information sharing among FCSS programs. Funding and support to the Resource Bank is undertaken as a partnership between the FCSSAA and Alberta Children’s Services. For further information about the FCSSAA, visit their website at www.fcssaa.ab.ca, or contact Sharlyn White, Executive Director, at (780) 422-0133. FCSS Program Advisory Team The FCSS Program Advisory Team (PAT) is a joint management committee established in 1999, in response to one of the recommendations that came out of the redesign of the provincial FCSS program in 1998. The recommendation acknowledged the value and importance of the positive working relationship between municipal and Métis Settlement FCSS representatives, the FCSSAA and the Province. In the past, the Province used ad-hoc or informal processes to gather input from municipal FCSS programs to guide program policy decisions that affected FCSS.


The establishment of the PAT was seen to provide a more consistent, formalized vehicle for issues, ideas and initiatives to be discussed. The PAT’s Terms of Reference were created through an extensive consultation with FCSS programs and provincial representatives. The intent of the PAT is to focus on provincial FCSS program goals, policy and procedures, to help the FCSS Program to be as effective as possible. The PAT reviews program delivery issues and concerns from local FCSS programs and the Province (through the Ministry of Children’s Services), and provides advice on how to consider the issues within the context of the Family and Community Support Services Act and Regulation. The PAT is not a decision-making body but rather provides advice to local programs and/or the Province. The PAT also acts as a steering committee for joint FCSS/government projects that work to support and strengthen FCSS. The PAT is not intended to duplicate or interfere with the relationship between the Province and individual municipalities and Métis Settlements, as spelled out in the Family and Community Support Services Act and Regulation. When the PAT was established, it was felt that the FCSSAA was the appropriate body to represent local FCSS programs. Over 90% of the FCSS programs in Alberta are members of the FCSSAA, and its mandate is built on direction from the membership at Annual General Meetings. The PAT is composed of the Executive of the FCSSAA, the provincial Director and Senior Manager responsible for FCSS, FCSS provincial Program Officers, the FCSSAA Executive Director, and the Chair of the Directors’ Network. The PAT is co-chaired by the FCSSAA President and the provincial FCSS Director. Provincial staff are accountable to the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for FCSS, and FCSSAA representatives are accountable to the Association Board and member programs. Outcomes Evaluation As an entity of Alberta Children’s Services, the FCSS Program is included in the Ministry’s Business Plan with goals, targets, performance measures and outcomes for province-wide program delivery. Performance measure results have consistently shown that FCSS is meeting or exceeding set targets. The measures used are strong indicators of the commitment of local FCSS staff and volunteers to reducing the need for crisis intervention in communities by providing support to children, youth and families at the earliest opportunity. The FCSS Making a Difference (MAD) Outcome Evaluation Project, initiated in 2001, is designed to provide FCSS programs with a system to monitor outcomes for program delivery. The system is comprised of two components:

- a Program Logic Model, developed by individual FCSS programs, that articulates short, medium and long-term outcomes for clients, and if the goals and strategies of program delivery are achieved; and

- a database, developed and maintained by the Canadian Outcomes Research Institute (CORI), with the capability to create tools for measuring the success of local Program Logic Models, including collecting, analyzing and aggregating collected information.


According to CORI’s FCSS Making a Difference 2005 Fall Report, since the MAD outcome project began, 135 FCSS programs have received services from CORI, including orientation to the project with broad overviews of the theoretical concepts. Of these, 62 FCSS programs have registered with CORI to have a HOMES Database account (compared to 44 in September 2004). Municipalities with HOMES accounts now represent over 70% of the province’s population (compared to 68% in September 2004). Each FCSS program can register its programs and services, and encourage subcontracted agencies to begin the outcome data collection process. The 62 FCSS programs fully using the HOMES Database represent 375 FCSS funded projects and services, and are well into the collection and reporting of data. It is expected the number of FCSS programs registering will not significantly increase in 2006 as the focus was to work with the larger cities to fully incorporate the MAD system into their FCSS program delivery and report on outcomes to provide provincial aggregate data as early as possible. This strategy ensured that the largest population served by FCSS and, therefore, the largest proportion of provincial FCSS funding, would be accounted for in the first round of aggregate data collection. To obtain more information about the FCSS MAD Outcome Evaluation Project, please contact Brenda Vaughan at [email protected]. FCSS Program Advice Inventory Listing The FCSS Program Advice Inventory Listing, developed by Children’s Services and the FCSSAA, is intended to assist local FCSS programs clarify the eligibility of several projects, services and expenditures. The Listing is another “for FCSS by FCSS” resource designed to support program delivery in the community. The Listing is included in the revised FCSS Program Handbook (reference pages 5-6 to 5-23) and is also posted on the Children’s Services website at www.child.gov.ab.ca (go to “What We Do” and from the Family and Community Support Services link, click on “Publications”). The Listing is also available as a stand-alone document. To obtain copies, contact Children’s Services at (780) 415-8150 or the FCSSAA at (780) 415-4791. FCSS Program Reviews Each year, FCSS program reviews are conducted throughout Alberta by department staff. The purpose is to provide ongoing program and administrative advice and support to municipalities and Métis Settlements participating in FCSS and to ensure accountability processes are in place. Following is a summary of 2005 FCSS Program Review locations:

April 18 City of Lloydminster April 19 Village of Kitscoty April 20 Town of Vermilion April 21 County of Vermilion River No. 24 May 11 Lac Ste. Anne County (also representing the Village of

Alberta Beach and the Village of Onoway) May 12 Town of Mayerthorpe July 11 Town of Okotoks July 12 Town of Black Diamond July 13 Town of High River July 14 Town of Turner Valley


Parenting Resources Initiative On January 25, 2005, Children’s Services announced new resources on raising healthy children and good parenting would be available in Alberta's 309 public libraries. Each library received 57 books and videos on parenting and child development. These resources were purchased by the Library Association of Alberta with $400,000 in funding from Children's Services. On February 7, 2005, Children’s Services announced the creation of 15 new Parent Link Centres. Many of these Parent Link Centres are operated by FCSS programs. Information about Parent Link Centres is available on the Children’s Services website at www.child.gov.ab.ca.

3. Program Highlights

Figure 1: New Single Municipality Programs

See Appendix A, "Programs and Program Contacts," for a complete list of municipalities and Métis Settlements participating in FCSS during 2005. The report includes a contact name for each program and the total population served.

As of December 31, 2005, a total of 300 municipalities and Métis Settlements, organized within 196 programs, were providing FCSS services throughout Alberta. There were 30 multi-municipal partnerships; another 158 municipalities and eight Métis Settlements operated single programs.

99.6% of the province has access to FCSS programs and services. The total population of communities not participating in the Program is less than 12,000.

In 2005, one new municipality joined as a single program (Fig. 1). Two municipalities (previously administering single programs) became Unit Authorities for new multi-municipal programs. Five municipalities (previously administering single programs) plus one new municipality joined as participating municipalities under these new multi-municipal partnerships (Fig. 2).

One municipality withdrew from the Program in 2004 and was not included in the 2005 grant listing.

4. Funding Highlights

For the 2004-05 fiscal year, the provincial allocation for FCSS was $61.1 million and the municipal share was $15.3 million for a total budget of $76.4 million.

For the 2005 calendar year, the converted provincial allocation for FCSS was $62.2 million and the municipal share was $15.6 million for a total budget of $77.8 million.

In April 2005, a grant budget increase for the fiscal year 2005-06 of $1.5 million was distributed to FCSS programs. Municipalities receiving additional funding were provided with an option to defer unspent dollars to 2006. This implementation strategy was developed to ensure adequate planning for and allocation of these dollars in each community.

5. Reconciliation of Funding AgreementsAs of October 31, 2006, all 196 Annual FCSS Program Reports for 2005 have been reviewed and reconciled. Local FCSS programs are to be commended for submitting these reports to the Province in a timely manner. Data reported in this Annual Overview is based on the 196 reconciled programs.

Of the 196 Annual FCSS Program reports reconciled, 37 programs fully expended their 80/20 funding and 114 programs reported municipal over-contributions. Another 45 programs had unexpended dollars.

For the 2005-06 fiscal year, the provincial allocation for FCSS was $62.6 million and the municipal share was $15.7 million for a total budget of $78.3 million.

Grant Transfers

In 2005, 33 local FCSS programs elected to transfer all, or a portion of, of their FCSS grants to other programs (located outside their boundaries) for the delivery of services within their communities. Grant transfers totalled $1,869,303. In the Annual FCSS Program Reports, these grant transfers are reported in Section 1 (Statement of Revenue and Expenditures) by the program receiving the funds and in Section 2 (Projects and Services Report) by the program transferring the funds.

FCSS Annual Overview 2005 - Page 17

Frequent requests for information are received about the kinds of projects that are funded through FCSS. In an effort to respond to these requests, two levels of coding, Project Type Level I and II, have been created in the FCSS Annual Report database to group projects and services.

The groupings under Project Type Level I focus on the general type of service that is being provided, for example, counselling or information and referral. Also, under Level I, services for children and youth are further divided into specific age groupings. Project Type Level II is more specific than Level I and identifies projects by the common name of the activity or the context in which the service is being provided.

Figure 12 shows expenditures for the year 2005 sorted by Project Type Level I.

11. Future Directions for the FCSS Annual Report Database

This FCSS Annual Overview provides a selection of reports primarily based on data reported in the 2005 Annual FCSS Program Reports (2005-06 Métis Settlement reports). Where data is available, comparisons are made to prior year reporting. As successive years of data are entered into the system, additional reports to compare across a number of years are being produced. Over time, changes and trends in the Program, such as the mode of service delivery, percentage of expenditures in service categories, types of projects and services, as well as the numbers of unexpended dollars and over contributions, are being tracked. The database makes it possible to manipulate the information that is collected each year through Annual FCSS Program Reports in ways that are much more detailed than was possible in the past. However, like any database, the FCSS Annual Report database is only as good as the information that is entered into it. The database continues to be a “work in progress,” and as changes in FCSS occur or issues emerge, the database will be modified to meet these needs. Occasionally, additional information is requested from FCSS programs to increase the reporting potential of the database. Our goal is to continually improve information that can be made available to local programs, municipalities, Métis Settlements, regions and the province. Comments and suggestions for the improvement of reports and the database design to ensure that it meets the needs of municipalities and Métis Settlements participating in the FCSS Program are welcome. A list of provincial contacts is provided in Appendix B.
