Children’s Services Act

Welcome to the webpage for the Children's Services Act in Shenandoah County! The Children's Services Act (CSA) is a law enacted in 1993 that established a state pool of funds that, combined with local funds, pay for support services for eligible youth and their families. In Shenandoah County, we believe that youth are best served and have better outcomes when they remain surrounded by their family and local community. Therefore, the focus of CSA funding is in prevention services and supports in the community to avoid out of home placements like foster care or a stay in a residential psychiatric facility.
