Nebraska Performance Audit Committee Report: DHHS Privatization of Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Services
November 1, 2011 The Nebraska Legislature Performance Audit Committee conducted an audit of the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services' (DHHS) implementation of the child welfare and juvenile services privatization initiative and found that the DHHS Division of Children and Family Services failed to conduct cost-benefit analyses prior to entering in lead-agency contracts in 2009, identify key performance goals of privatization improvements, and make significant progress in the reduction of the number of children placed out of their homes. The Committee provided recommendations to DHHS for the improvement of the privatization initiative. Download the Report . . .
