NEORHYMIS

NATIONAL EXTRANET OPTIMIZED RUNAWAY AND HOMELESS YOUTH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM, Version 2.1

(data collection instrument)

This instrument is for recording and reporting the profiles of youth, their critical issues, and services they receive through the runaway and homeless youth programs authorized by the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (P.L. 108-96). The Statute also governs the basic requirements for collecting this data.

Version 2.1 of NEORHYMIS has a few changes since Version 2.0. Many of these modifications were the result of suggestions from RHY organizations and youth serving professionals. Under “Services” BCPs may now record preventive efforts (as envisioned in the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act) to divert youth in at risk situations from leaving home without permission. It provides TLPs with options for recording “non-residential” periods when the youth may have moved out of the residency for a temporary period of respite, time-out or reassessment while continuing to receive various services from the TLP, such as counseling, meals, or special events to help them stay “connected.” Several additional services or activities have been included, such as assessment before or during the TLP residency, transitional life planning, and individual development accounts. Finally, a few additional help comments have been added to clarify definitions and situations that users often ask about.

Answers to a great many of the questions in NEORHYMIS may also be required of service providers by other funding sources (client demographics, issues, services, etc.) NEORHYMIS, like its predecessor, can be used for non-FYSB programs, if any agency wishes to use it to support their general case management. The technical assistance center (see number below) can also advise agencies how to add additional questions or modify original content if needed for a non-FYSB version of NEORHYMIS, for example, if they wish to create an instrument to serve other age groups with other types of services. FYSB will also accept RHY data submitted from other systems as long as they can be adapted into NEORHYMIS. The technical assistance center can help with these issues.

NEORHYMIS is distributed free as software to all FYSB grantees. Further information is available through the Technical Assistance Center at: Hotline: (888) 749-6474, option #1; E-mail: rhymis_help@csc.com. The NEORHYMIS biannual reporting periods are October 1 through March 31, and April 1 through September 30. The Federal Transfer data submission is due within the 15 days following the end of the reporting period. Data received after the 15^th will be reported as having been received after the due date and marked as "late."

A special extranet website is available for users to generate standard and custom reports on any periods of validated data from RHYMIS-LITE/NEORHYMIS since FY 2002. Access to more detailed data will be provided to federal staff, grantees, and on request to others doing research or seeking information. The site is http://extranet.acf.hhs.gov/rhymis.

THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response for all the above reports, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information. If an agency is not required to submit all reports, the longest report, the BCP or TLP youth profile (entrance and exit report) is estimated to require less than 1/2 hour per youth profile. A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

NEORHYMIS v2.1 - BASIC CENTER ENTRANCE REPORT

Expiration date: mm/dd/yyyy — OMB Control No: previously approved as 0970-0123

This instrument collects information regarding young people served by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB)-funded Basic Center Programs. (For youth to whom Basic Center Program staff provide services lasting fewer than 6 hours and/or do not stay overnight, please complete the Brief Service Contact Record.) Youth who are receiving FYSB funded services but are not staying at the Basic Center, may be fully recorded, and should be recorded in NEORHYMIS if the contact is more than casual or transitory. Street outreach services or “brief services” contacts should be entered in their respective NEORHYMIS reports.

Complete and accurate reporting of information regarding youth served by Basic Center Program grantees is important because it helps to inform the U.S. Congress and funding sources about the youth whom Basic Center Programs serve and about the services Basic Center Programs provide.

For each youth who enters the Basic Center Program, please provide answers to all of the questions on this form. To answer a question, click on the appropriate response from the drop-down list box, and/or select the appropriate response. Common elements between entrance and exit reports will be automatically generated. Services, such as prevention efforts, for youth provided prior to participation or elsewhere than the BCP shelter can be reported in the BCP Exit Report.

Type of Funding:	FYSB
	Other Funding Source

NOTE: Entry of non-FYSB funded youth in NEORHYMIS is optional. Such non-FYSB records are for your own use or convenience. NEORHYMIS software segregates the records automatically and they are not sent to the national FYSB database during transmission. A referral check-off is now available in the Brief Services Record to provide a rough headcount of current "system" youth (who are not included in the FYSB treatment population) whom you refer to or treat with system-funded services after they present themselves at the FYSB shelter.

Settings for service delivery: Identify the setting and nature of services delivered as explained below (choose the type that applies).

Setting for Service Delivery (select one of the following codes):

1	Services to prevent shelter entry	Preventive services were provided at home or another location to serve the youth’s needs and with the goal of keeping the youth in their home. These may include: in-home services, services provided at a school, faith-based organization, community center, on the BCP premises while the youth continues to reside at home, or similar situations. These services could be provided by a variety of sources. The BCP exit report will collect information on specific services rendered.
2	Direct BCP shelter services	Direct BCP shelter services are those provided when the youth directly enters the BCP shelter without receiving prior preventive services.

Youth who are receiving a structured course of preventive services outside the shelter should be recorded in NEORHYMIS Entrance and Exit Reports as well as youth who directly enter the BCP. The opportunity to describe the course and types of preventive services is found under Services, item 20 in the BCP exit report. Such services recorded in NEORHYMIS BCP reports should be more structured than transient or casual contacts (e.g., hotline/phone or brief, drop-in counseling) recorded in the Brief Service Contact Report.

Enter the date the youth first received preventive services or directly entered the BCP shelter without prior preventive services.

BCP Service Start Date: ______________ (mm/dd/yyyy)

3. How does the youth describe himself/herself using these census categories? On the basis of the youth's self-perception, select one or more codes indicating the young person's race category and one code indicating their ethnicity category.

NOTE: The race and ethnicity classifications below are defined by revised OMB Statistical Policy Directive No. 15. The classifications should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature, nor should they be viewed as determinants of eligibility for participation in any Federal program. They have been developed in response to needs expressed by both the executive branch and the U.S. Congress to provide for the collection and use of compatible, nonduplicated, exchangeable racial and ethnic data by Federal agencies.

1. Race (select one or more codes)

1. _____ American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.

2. _____ Asian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

3. _____ Black, or African American: A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.

4. _____ Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

5. _____ White: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.

If the following option is selected, no other race code may be entered (option #6 is no longer used):

7. _____ Not Provided: The young person did not provide information on their race.

2. Ethnicity (select one code)

1	Not Hispanic or Latino	A person not of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

3	Not Provided	The young person did not provide information on his or her ethnicity.

4. Living situation at entry: Choose one code to indicate the living situation, (this situation may be the same or different from a prevention setting, if any), in which the youth spent at least 6 of the 12 months prior to entrance. (If the youth did not spend more than 6 months at one residence during the 12 months prior to entrance, enter the code corresponding to the residence in which he or she spent the most time during that period.)

Some of the living situation categories have further type sub-classifications. If this is the case for the applicable living situation at entry for the youth, then both a code for the living situation and a code for living situation type must be selected.

Group activities with other mentors can be valuable, but the one-to-one relationship is paramount. Information on effective mentoring practices can be found at www.mentoring.org.).

20. ______ Setting of Service Delivery: Preventive services (home or non-shelter-based) or on-site BCP shelter services. Check one or more of the following preventive service options, depending on the assistance provided the youth. If the youth receive BCP shelter services ONLY, please select option 20.7 below.

This is a required element under BCP “Services Provided.”

NOTE: If at the end of the period of services, the youth runs away (not to the BCP) or successfully insists upon a living situation other than the chosen placement, the final setting would be recorded under Living Situation at Exit when the BCP Exit Report is completed.

Preventive Services:

“Preventive services” refers to counseling and other acceptable means of risk reduction to keep the youth from running away or engaging in other risk behaviors, or being placed in the child welfare or juvenile justice system unless this is in the youth’s best interest. These services may include mediation or other interventions to help build healthy relationships within the family or household) and/or referrals to promote healthy development or strengthen the youth’s assets.

1. _______ In-home Preventive Services: Preventive services were provided by the grantee on an in-home basis to the youth and/or the family or guardianship household and not at BCP shelter or other grantee facility unless also indicated below. The youth did not stay overnight at a shelter continued to reside at the original household.

2. _______ Out-of-home Preventive Services: Services were provided by the grantee to the youth off-site in the home of a relative or other responsible individual, school setting, faith-based organization, community counseling or youth center not affiliated with the grantee, or in another “neutral zone.” The youth did not stay overnight at a shelter during the period these services were provided and continued to reside at the original household.

3. _______ Overnight, Interim, Respite, or Very Limited BCP Shelter Stay with Return Home Expected Soon: The youth was provided not more than a few nights of interim, provisional accommodations at the BCP shelter (for respite, but not as a full program participant although within the care and supervision of the program). This experience could be for a “cooling off” period or during transfer to an appropriate permanent living setting. The expectation is that the youth returns to the original household or alternative permanent living situation in the following day or few days.

4. _______ Temporary Stay or Respite at a Setting Outside the Youth’s Home but Not in BCP: The youth was provided temporary or respite living arrangements at an alternative out-of-the-home setting arranged by the grantee and the youth’s family or guardian. As in the previous situation, this could be for a “cooling off” period or during transfer to an appropriate permanent living setting. The expectation is the youth returns to the original household or alternative permanent living situation at the end of the temporary period.

5. _______ Formal Placement in an Alternative Setting Other Than the BCP Shelter or the Original Home/Housing: It was determined that the interests of the youth would best be served by placement away from the household of residence and not in the BCP shelter. The new living situation should be safe, appropriate and suitable to the needs and development of the youth.

6. _______ Admission to BCP Shelter Services for More Than One Night After Receiving Preventive Services: The youth was provided more than one night of temporary shelter (full intake at the BCP shelter) after prevention efforts during a crisis intervention period, with anticipation of reunification with the family or in an alternative placement. The youth may have previously received any combination of preventive services. Please enter the date the youth formally entered the BCP shelter.

BCP Shelter Entrance Date: ______________ (mm/dd/yyyy)

Please select the following option only if the youth did not receive preventive services and entered the BCP shelter directly with full intake processing.

7. _______ Direct Entry to the BCP Shelter for One or More Nights: Shelter services include direct referrals to on-site services for one or more nights with full admission processing. No preventive services were feasible or appropriate.

NOTE: It is important to connect with each youth, help them develop plans for the future, and maintain contact. However, on occasion youth abruptly leave the premises without assistance, counseling or guidance. Reconnection with the youth or news of his/her whereabouts may emerge at a later date. If this is within a “reasonable” period of time (according to the judgment of the BCP), updating or correcting the data in NEORHYMIS is strongly encouraged to change the “unknown” exit situation to the actual situation. The technical support hotline provides guidance on how to accomplish this task before or after semi- annual data transfer at

1-888-749-6474.

2. Services Provided to Youth by or Through the Transitional Living Program:

Choose all cases that describe the services provided to the young person through the Transitional Living Program. It is not necessary to check a response under each heading. These categories are for reporting purposes and are therefore broad. Agency case management practice should reflect more precision. Except for number 17 (aftercare), if a service was “refused,” it should not be listed, unless a viable portion of the service was delivered prior to refusal.
