Programs overseen by these nurse leaders may include smoking and tobacco use prevention programs, coordination with community health providers, as well as care provided to students as required through state law, such as hearing, vision, postural, and Body Mass Index (BMI) screenings and referrals. School-Based Health Center grants fund health centers that operate under the auspices of a sponsoring organization (such as a community health center or hospital) and that are located in schools (typically high schools). School-based health centers must meet requirements for Dept. of Public Health licensure, and are staffed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants who are authorized to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medications as necessary. School-based health centers are located in high-need areas (determined using criteria such as high rates of free lunch eligibility and limited access to primary health care), and serve all students, regardless of ability to pay. The centers provide primary and acute health care and mental health services. They also coordinate care with student support staff and outside health providers. Centers receive reimbursements for care provided to students who are enrolled in MassHealth, as well as federal grant funds and private donations. In addition, a small portion of funding from this line item goes to improving poorer health outcomes experienced by bay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth.	$ 12,840,955			$ 13,273,583	Healthy	MA Department of Public Health	State	Project Grants	6 - 12 Years Old , 13 - 18 Years Old	Other , Income-based	Adolescent Health Services; Prevention; Data Systems	Eligibility Requirements	Yes	No	No	Yes	Down (Modest): Funding has decreased less than 8% or less over 3-year trend period.

The Children’s Behavioral Health Task Force created tools and frameworks for schools to increase their ability to address social, emotional, mental health needs of all students. This group provided recommendations through a report issued in 2011. The task force called for coordinated state leadership, statewide implementation of its behavioral health framework, increased professional development for educators, and adding staff capacity within districts and schools to lead the effort to address social and behavioral needs.

The MTCP includes a variety of state- and community-based activities including: Activities that engage young people in anti-smoking efforts and create a youth presence on this issue in local communities. These activities include mini-grants, technical assistance, and support to local youth groups that work to advance anti-tobacco policies on the local level and educate others about the consequences of tobacco use.	$ 4,218,872			$ 4,617,730	Healthy	MA Department of Public Health	State	Other Funding Mechanism	6 - 12 Years Old , 13 - 18 Years Old	Other	Substance Abuse; Adolescent Health; Prevention	None	Yes	No	No	No	Stable: Funding has stayed virtually stable over 3-year trend period.

Administered by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS), this state grant program offers communities with a demonstrated gang and youth violence problem resources to implement a multi-disciplinary, anti-gang strategy. Shannon Grants support efforts by law enforcement to steer children away from gangs and prevent youth violence, thereby reducing the likelihood that these children will become involved with law enforcement in less positive ways. Funded communities are required to adopt the Comprehensive Gang Model (CGM), an approach developed by researchers in the early 1990s. The CGM integrates the following five elements: social intervention, opportunity provision, suppression, community mobilization, and organizational change. Examples of approved program elements include increased community policing, crime-mapping and investigation; collaborative home-visits (with clergy, school staff, or probation officers) for at-risk-youth; youth mentoring and street outreach; job placement and offender re-entry support services. In the most recent available report, from 2015, 15 sites encompassing 27 communities received Shannon Grant awards.	$ 8,000,000			$ 11,000,000	Safe	Executive Office of Public Safety and Security	State	Project Grants	13 - 18 Years Old , 18+ Years Old	Juvenile Justice	Gang Prevention; Mentoring; Home Visiting; Outreach Services; Employment	Allowable Uses	No	No	No	No	Up (Modest): Funding has risen less than 8% or less over 3-year trend period.

Inflation-adjusted amount.	1) Besides varying by security, programs also vary by function and services offered. Assessment programs are designed to evaluate the needs of newly committed youth. During the typical length of stay of 30–45 days, DYS administers several risk/need assessments to inform a placement decision. 2) The Education, Job Training and Employment Services Unit works in partnership with local schools, colleges, the Department of Education, families, business and communities to provide DYS youth with opportunities in education and employment readiness. Services are designed to ease transitions of youth into the community and into public school, alternative education, GED preparation, post-secondary education, job skills training or entry-level employment. 3) The number of kids committed to DYS has been steadily declining over the last 15 years dropping 79 percent from 3,151 in January 2000 to 675 in January 2015.

The program provides education, occupational skills and employment support services to clients.	$ 14,339,226			$ 14,107,166	Stable, Employable	MA Department of Transitional Assistance	State	Formula Grants	0 - 5 Years Old , 6 - 12 Years Old , 13 - 18 Years Old , 18+ Years Old	Income-based	Employment; Child Care; Student Support; Counseling; Parenting Supports	None	Yes	Yes	No	No	Down (Modest): Funding has decreased less than 8% or less over 3-year trend period. Inflation-adjusted amount.	1) This program supports employment for the parents of eligible children and as such is categorized under the developmental goal "Stable" as the primary identifier. For young parents ages 14 - 21 who do not have a high school diploma or its equivalent, services include counseling, education, life and parenting skills and job training and placement services. The program aims to help youth attain a diploma or GED and to assist them in securing employment through vocational education and training. For this population, the developmental outcome goal is "employable." We use this as a secondary tag. 2) Domestic violence waivers may be applied for those experiencing eligible circumstances. Waivers may apply to time limit rules; work requirement rules; family caps; and school attendance for teens.
83	Family Resource Centers	4000-0051	Funds Family Access Centers that provide resource and information to families about state and local services.

Inflation-adjusted amount.	The Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) in partnership with the Commonwealth Corporation will provide employment counseling, and access to one-stop career centers and regional employment agencies in order to help more recipients of TAFDC meet work requirements. This funding is needed because of a recent change to TAFDC disability standards in Chapter 158 of the Acts of 2014 which will likely increase the number of disabled recipients subject to work requirements. This program, funded at $11.0 million in the initial budget passed for fiscal year (FY) 2015 (the GAA FY 2015 budget) was cut significantly in a November budget bill (a 9C cut) leaving only $1.0 million left for the program. In January the program received a further cut leaving no money available in FY 2015. The FY 2016 budget provides $3.0 million and $1 million for FY 2017. Implementation of Chapter 158 of the Acts of 2014 is pending so the effect on recipients is still to be determined. It is not clear if the funding appropriated will be enough to support the increase in services needed for recipients who might no longer qualify for a disability exemption.
85	Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TADFC)	4403-2000	Provides time limited cash assistance benefits for families with children and pregnant women in the last 120 days of pregnancy. The goal of TAFDC is to help families achieve self-sufficiency through employment.	$ 201,580,967			$ 204,455,227	Stable	MA Department of Transitional Assistance	State	Formula Grants	0 - 5 Years Old , 6 - 12 Years Old , 13 - 18 Years Old , 18+ Years Old	Income-based	Financial Assistance; Employment; Case Management	Allowable Uses	No	No	No	Yes	Down (Significant): Funding has decreased 8% to 30% over 3-year trend period. Inflation-adjusted amount.	1) TADFC is funded through a combination of state and federal TANF funds. For further information on TANF and TADFC in the state of Massachusetts, see: https://www.masslegalservices.org/system/files/library/TANF-TAFDC%20primer.t.pdf. 2) In FY 2015, the passage of Chapter 158 of the Acts of 2014 changed disability standards for TAFDC clients. This change aligns the TAFDC definition of a qualifying disability with the federal SSI standard - a more difficult standard for some individuals with disabilities to meet. This will likely cause several thousand individuals with disabilities to lose their work exemption and face work requirements or lose eligibility. This bill also requires 30 days of job search before applicants can receive benefits potentially causing families to have to wait longer to get benefits and making it harder for them to prove eligibility. 3) In 2017, the US Department of Health and Human Services rescinded waiver authority regarding work requirements for states receiving TANF funds.
86	Teen Structured Settings Program	4403-2119	Funds program to support teen parents under the age of 20 who are recepients of TAFDC, placing them within an approved living arrangement including with parents, other kinship arrangements, foster care and/or the Teen Living Program.	$ 8,808,389			$ 9,362,938	Stable, Safe, Healthy, Educated, Employable	MA Department of Transitional Assistance	State	Formula Grants	13 - 18 Years Old , 18+ Years Old	Pregnant Teens, Income-based	Residential Services; Child Care; Employment; Parent Supports; Educational Services; Transportation	Allowable Uses	Yes	No	No	No	Down (Significant): Funding has decreased 8% to 30% over 3-year trend period. Inflation-adjusted amount.	The program helps locate an approved placement for teens as determined by the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) with support from the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Teens can also reside in a Teen Living Program through partnership with DCF. Capacity in the Teen Living Program is often not sufficient to reach all of the teens who could benefit from the program so DTA also partners with the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to shelter teen parents through the state's Emergency Assistance (EA) program.
