Or. Admin. Code § 413-053-0010 - History and Purpose

(1) In 2011, the Oregon Legislature created requirements for Strengthening, Preserving and Reunifying Families programs. These directives are codified in ORS 418.580 to 418.598. The goals of the programs are to:

(a) Reduce the number of children entering substitute care and reduce their length of stay in substitute care;

(b) Reduce the trauma of CPS involvement for children and families;

(c) Ensure families receive timely family-focused services, while children remain safely at home;

(d) Improve collaboration between the Department and its county partners, especially when those partners are providing appropriate and necessary services to families; and

(e) Create better outcomes for children and families involved with the Department.

(2) The purpose of these rules is to describe the responsibilities of the Department in providing SPRF services.
