Accountng Office exoept on the basis of specific approv.*l by the Office of Conressionaf Reletion& ,,, BY THE US. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Honorable George Miller House Of Representatives Review Of Certain Aspects Of Group Home Care For Children In California A group home is a facility that provides 24-hour care and supervision in a group setting for any number of children under age 18. For the group home program in California, GAO found the following: --Title IV-E of the Social Security Act is the primary source of federal funds to support group homes. Group homes also receive funds from many other federal sources; however, total funding from these sources could not be identified at the state level. --Amounts paid to group homes for each child varied widely, but costs incurred by the homes were allowable under federal and state guidelines. Because there were no specific federal or state criteria on comparable costs of similiar institutions, the rea- sonableness of these costs could not be determined. --Group homes visited by GAO met state safety standards. However, 29 of the 66 homes visited had one or more sanitary standard deficiencies at the time of the GAO visit. --GAO found no evidence that the 18 homes it reviewed in detail had duplicately billed other federal programs. However, county auditors had identified duplicate payments in the past. 127662 7$ GAO/HRD-85-62 JULY 19,1985
