Program A: Capital Area Human Services District
Program Authorization: Act 54 of 1996, 1st. Ex. Sess.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The mission of the Capital Area Human Services District (CAHSD) Program, is to enhance the availability of supports and services to develop each individual’s unique potential for living a satisfying and productive life within the community.
The goals of the Capital Area Human Services District Program are:
1. Provide mental health, substance abuse, and developmental disability services that consumers and their families desire in a manner which provides them quick and convenient entry into the service provision system.
2. Ensure that services provided are responsive to client needs and concerns, by integrating in service delivery methods, and being consistent with the goals of the Department of Health and Hospitals and its program offices.
The Capital Area Human Services District Program is a subdivision created by the Louisiana Legislature to directly operate and manage community-based mental health, substance abuse, developmental disabilities, and certain public health functions in the parishes of Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Pointe Coupee, and West Baton Rouge. CAHSD is also contractually responsible for the provision of those services to the parishes of East Feliciana and West Feliciana. Functions relative to the operation of these services were transferred to CAHSD from the Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) through a memorandum of agreement monitored by the DHH secretary. To increase responsiveness to local human service needs, CAHSD is governed by a board composed of members nominated by the respective parish governing bodies, and appointed by the Governor of Louisiana. The district became operational July 1, 1997.
Capital Area Human Services District Program has four major activities: developmental disabilities, mental health, substance abuse, and public health.
OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATIORS
Unless otherwise indicated, all objectives are to be accomplished during or by the end of FY 1999-2000. Performance indictors are made up of two parts: name and value. The indicator name describes what is being measured. The indicator value is the numeric value or level achieved within a given measurement period. For budgeting purposes, performance indicator values are shown for the prior fiscal year, the current fiscal year, and alternative funding scenarios (continuation budget level and Executive Budget recommendation level) for the ensuing fiscal year (the fiscal year of the budget document).
