WYFS FY22
To: Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance
From: Dani Gorman, Director of Youth & Family Services
Re: — Duties and Responsibilities of Waterford Youth & Family Services ~ FY 22
State statute and town ordinance define the purpose of Youth & Family Services as the
fundamental source for programs, initiatives, and services that promote the emotional well-being
of its consumers. Through prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation services, residents up to
the age of 55 are provided with seamless access to our mental health care, diversified programs,
food bank, and human services. Since our inception in 1991, the department has promoted
quality care services that are responsive to the needs of the community.
The “seed” funding for Youth and Family Services is generated from the State of Connecticut
Department of Children and Families in the amount of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) per
year, but it is the Town’s allocation of the general government budget that allows the department
to carry-out the vast majority of its defined duties and responsibilities. Through grant funding
and community support, the department has successfully managed to enhance all aspects of
program operations and expand its capacity to deliver distinct, community-based services that
now include a food bank and social services programs.
In the past year, the department put into place extraordinary measures to sustain the quality of
life for residents hard hit by the pandemic and who faced unimaginable disruptions in their lives.
With detailed and immediate focus, programs were expanded to help residents of all ages secure
help with food, shelter, schooling, and many other basic human needs.
In FY22, the proposed budget is a reflection of how we can better meet the operational needs of
the department. With a duty and responsibility to all residents who continue to reach out to us at
unprecedented levels, it is vital that our staffing levels are on par with the demand for services.
The proposed budget reaffirms our ability and capacity to respond to the ever-evolving needs of
residents and recommit ourselves to making a difference in Waterford.

WYFS FY22
Yo: Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance
From: Dani Gorman, Director of Youth and Family Services
Re: Plans to Restrain Budgetary Growth
In FY 22, the Youth & Family Services’ budget presentation maintains its commitment to
restrain spending whenever possible. However during the past decade, residents (at record levels)
have increasingly turned to us for help with services that span from mental health to basic human needs
like food and housing. In Fiscal Year 20, we had 19, 998 contacts with residents and providers. These
purposeful interactions between staff and residents reflected engagements that provided children and
adults with resources, opportunities, and / or support. Residents, other town departments, schools, police,
courts and outside organizations have more and more looked to us as a hub or starting point for help. Data
collected from consumer satisfaction surveys have consistently shown the department has demonstrated a
capacity that “exceeds expectations” to provide support and coordinate efforts to deliver services that are
high quality, efficient, accessible and equitable. Even while survey results reflect excellence in our
industry, this has all been accomplished with a small core staff of 3 full time employees supported by an
auxiliary group of seasonal staff to keep our functions afloat and to meet the demand for our services.
In FY21, we have routinely retained the services of a seasonal employee at 19 hours per week / year-
round to contend with the gaps in coverage. Additionally, the demand for services necessitated the full
time clerk work overtime and work schedules of other seasonal employees reflect even more hours and
staff were utilized. All of this paid through grants and revenues collected from Camp DASH that hindered
the development of additional programs for our consumers.
It has become increasingly clear that seasonal / part-time staff cannot adequately augment the need for an
additional full time position that could provide support, coherence and continuity in the delivery of
services.
Within the 52000 series, all utilities were removed from the department’s budget as directed and
reassigned to the Public Works budget. A slight decrease was made to the service contract line due to a
new leasing contract and copier and an increase was made to the phone line item which is directly related
to the increased demand for our off-site and virtual services.
On behalf of our Chairman and the Youth & Family Services Advisory Board, I respectfully
present the Waterford Youth & Family Services Fiscal Year 2022 Budget for your review and
consideration:
