Current Narrative:
LRS monitors and evaluates 100% of the CRPs biennially for quality and cost effectiveness of service provision to determine what improvements may be needed as well as to assure compliance with established standards.
Based on the results of the last statewide needs assessment, LRS identified areas of the state where CRPs are unable to meet the current need or are not present to provide services. This information is used to explore funding options, facility and staffing needs to establish, develop or improve CRPs and LRS will consider these opportunities, as appropriate.
