children with serious or chronic physical and emotional problems which will also not be ' affected. Family Child Caze Homes (HAR 17-891.1) are limited to six children and will also not be affected. These facilities are literally people providing child care in their own private homes which must be licensed by out Benefits, Employment, and Support Services Division (BESSD) in order to be compensated with Federal TANF dollars when providing child Caze for public assistance clients returning to work and other related activities permitted under TANF. Group Child Care Homes (HAR 17-891.2) are literally day care centers which have to meet regulations from a variety of sources, and would not be affected by this legislation. Neither of these two types of facilities are 24 hour residential facilities. For complaints about any BESSD child care facilities, you can address complaints to me or Patricia Murakami (586.5320), Administrator of BESSD. The only adult homes that DHS licenses and monitors are Residential Alternative Community Care Homes (RACC), which can only house up to two (three as of July 07) elderly and disabled individuals as specified in HAR 17-1454 in our administrative rules. We only fund placement of DHS eligible (e.g. Medicaze/Medicaid) clients in larger group home facilities, but those facilities are licensed and/or certified and monitored by DOH rather than DHS. For complaints about any of these homes you can contact me or Patricia Johnson (586- 5584),Administrator ofthe Adult Community Care Branch. I hope this information is useful and helps you see how our clientele is highly similar to, and if anything, somewhat less severe than those served by DOH. We very much appreciate the attention you aze paying to this critical issue. Thank you for your time and your consideration.
