        <Description>Resource Foster CareWhile there are many different levels and types of resource care within the program, the primary focus is to work closely with each and every resource care family. Some of the services include: 24 hour on-call Social Worker, Support meetings, Free ongoing training, Respite care, Resource Parent Liability Insurance A child is placed in resource care when a court determines the child's home life is dangerous, inappropriate, or unhealthy, or when the child's behaviors cannot be managed at home. Many children have Experienced lives of abuse and/or neglect. The ultimate goal of resource care is to resolve family conflicts or disruptions and return the child to his or her natural family. If reintegration with the natural family proves impossible, children are often placed for adoption or prepared for adulthood through independent living.Through the entire process, the resource parent works closely with the child's natural family and child welfare professionals to ensure that the child has a chance to blossom as a healthy, well-adjusted member of the community.Resource families provide an alternate home like setting for children who are not able to safely live with their parents. Resource parents undergo training and state licensure to ensure that they are knowledgeable about the special challenges children who are placed with them might face, and to provide them with skills to work with the child, the child's family, the social worker or case manager, and the legal system. TFI FAMILY SERVICES, Inc. provides sponsorship for state licensed resource families, and provides supportive services to assist them with any problems or challenges that might occur during the placement of a child in a home. During this period there were 654 resource homes, with a daily average of 916 children in the home that were sponsored by TFI FAMILY SERVICES, Inc.</Description>

        <Explanation>The Family Preservation services that were previously provided by TFI Family Services, Inc. were provided based upon a contract with the State of Kansas for Region 3. That contract expired and was re-bid based upon an RFP that was submitted. During the RFP process, TFI bid on multiple contracts for various regions for the Family Preservation Services and for Reintegration/Foster Care/Adoption services. TFI was awarded the Reint. Contracts for Region 1 and 3. We received no contracts for Family Preservation Services. TFI had also previously provided Behavioral Health Services. Due to economic and regulatory conditions, it was not feasable to continue to provide these services at this time.</Explanation>
