Agency-specific assumptions

This calculator enables you to estimate the cost associated with your agency's MTFC program for the first 5 years. A few notes with regard to the Agency-specific assumptions: The number of MTFC teams listed for each year, after year 1, include the teams listed in the previous year(s). For example, if you start one team in year 1 and add a team in year 3, the lines for years 1 and 2 should say '1', the lines for years 3 through 5 should say '2'. The default values on some lines are '0' because in most cases no additional funds are budgeted for these items. However, the lines are inserted to provide an opportunity to enter values if you expect to have to budget separately for these costs (Skills Trainer fringe benefits, foster parent mileage, clothing/special needs allowances, summer expenses related to school vacations). (i) Blue figures represent items adjustable by applicant agency.

FTE's for Therapists and Recruiter/Trainer/PDR Caller in year 1 can be adjusted for the initial period of program operation as the number of placement youths is gradually increasing to program capacity (10). FTE's should be at year 2 levels when full capacity is realized. If such adjustments are made, the average FTE anticipated in the first year should be entered. Please note that the first few months of the first year will be used for training and other preparatory activities, and that no youths will be placed in the program until after these activities have been completed (see below).
