Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT)

The Children’s Services Act was created to ensure that at-risk youth and their families have access to as much support needed to transform successfully and have better futures.  The Family and Assessment Planning Team (FAPT) is one of two teams in Fluvanna County that is responsible for the operation of the CSA in Fluvanna County.

Purpose: The purpose of the FAPT is to assess the strengths and needs of at-risk youths referred, determine if these youths are eligible for funding through the CSA for needed services, and determine the best services that are needed for these youths to transform and succeed.

Membership: Membership shall meet the requirements of the Code of Virginia § 2.2-5207, and is appointed by the Community Policy and Management Team.  Agencies represented are permanent members, and may have multiple representatives providing input during assessments and deliberations, although there will be only one voting representative from each agency.  These agencies include:

• Fluvanna Department of Social Services
• Fluvanna County Public Schools

In addition, the following representatives are also included, who each serve a maximum of two 2-year terms:
