Hubs are established to coordinate services to children ages 0
through 6 in a specific geographic area or community of interest, i.e., a
special population not constrained by geography in order to produce better
outcomes for children. Hubs are vested with the authority to distribute state
and federal funds, coordinate services for children and purchase services for
children and families. Hubs can leverage public and private funds in their
efforts to attain results. Because Hubs are established to coordinate services
with current service providers and, or purchase new services to support
specific child centered outcomes, including kindergarten readiness, a Hub that
provides direct services must meet additional criteria set forth in OAR
414-900-0020(1)(g)(F).
(1) Hubs must:
(a) Account for outcomes that benefit
children within the Hub geographic area or community of interest by:
(A) Aligning service delivery focused on
outcomes across five functional sectors and be able to prove that entities that
represent the following five functional sectors are participating in the Hub:
(i) Health care services,
(ii) Human and social services,
(iii) Education services,
(iv) Early childhood services, and
(v) Business.
(B) Ensuring that service providers which the
Hub coordinates and contracts with are also accountable to the Hub for
client-level outcomes supporting Oregon's 40-40-20 Educational Goal.
(b) Complete a community readiness
assessment to determine the readiness to effectively coordinate services to
achieve outcomes by:
(A) Working with
providers the Hub plans to contract with to ensure readiness to provider
efficient, outcome focused services, and
(B) Using the community readiness assessment
to connect services to outcomes and resources.
(c) Map and coordinate funding to maximize
the return of the investment by:
(A) Creating
a comprehensive children's budget for the Hub territory modeled on the state
level comprehensive children's budget,
(B) Mapping all local, state, federal and
philanthropic dollars currently available or committed to the proposed service
area and ensuring funders are willing to collaborate toward a set of shared
outcomes advancing Oregon's 40-40-20 Educational Goal,
(C) Ensuring that contracted service
providers are accountable for providing services in a cost efficient manner,
and
(D) Ensuring that no more than
15% of the total funds received from the ELC go toward administrative overhead
by the end of the contract period.
(d) If individuals spend more than 15% of
their time on administrative functions, their salaries and expenses must be
prorated between program and administrative overhead.
(e) Reporting to the ELC on making progress
towards the following outcomes:
(A)
Kindergarten readiness, in support of Oregon's 40-40-20 Educational
Goal,
(B) Stable and attached
families, and
(C) System
coordination and efficiency.
(2) Reports shall be submitted by the Hub to
appropriate interim legislative committee and the ELC by January 1,
2014.
