New York State’s Program Improvement Plan 2010-2011 
Introduction
New York State is a state supervised, locally administered child welfare system. The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) is responsible for the oversight of the fifty-eight local departments of social services (districts), the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, and the voluntary agencies that contract with districts to provide for child welfare services. Similar to the first Child and Family Services Review (CFSR), OCFS reached out to our local departments of social services, voluntary agencies, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, the Office of Court Administration and other key state stakeholders to assist in developing our Statewide Assessment and the Program Improvement Plan (PIP). This collaboration focused on the assessment of the review findings; identification of the factors contributing to our performance or report findings; identification of current initiatives upon which to build; and identification of data by which to measure improved performance.
