LCTS

PACT for Families uses Local Collaborative Time Study (LCTS) funding to provide grants to partner agencies.  Funding priorities for LCTS grants have been for activities directed at a clearly defined at-risk population such as but not limited to the following;

• At risk of EBD or SED/ED
• Economically disadvantaged
• Abused/neglected
• At risk of school failure/dropping out
• Delinquent
• Chemical use/abuse
• Mental illness/chemical dependency (MI/CD)
• Teen mothers
• At risk of out-of-home placement

The focus of an LCTS project must be to reduce the risk of out of home placements.  PACT for partners work creatively to provide services and opportunities for youth who are struggling at home, school, or community, and to find resources and outlets to help meet their needs.  We know that youth do much better when they receive local support from their community.
