What is the MCSA?
Hamilton Countys four major child-serving agencies formed a partnership through the Family and Children First Council in the 1990s. Since 2002 this partnership has been operated by the MCSA (Multi County Systems Agency.) The partnership is interested in better serving youth and their families who are involved with multiple systems (child welfare, juvenile court, mental health, alcohol or drug, and mental retardation & developmental disabilities.) Without the partnership, these children would often wind up in residential institutions for long periods of time. This is very expensive, and often not in the best interest of the child, family or community. The MCSA facilitates pooled funding by the five partners to to serve this population of children. Pooled funding and the use of a non-profit provider (Choices Mosaic) has two big advantages. First, it allows greater flexibility in the kinds of services that can be purchased. Second, it allows better coordinated and more intensive care mana
