The Administrative Office of the Courts and Probation invites interested persons to comment on the proposed edits to the Service Definitions for In-Home Family Services (IHFS) and Community Treatment Aide (CTA).  Anyone desiring to submit a public comment for consideration should do so via email to mark.bless@nejudicial.gov.  Comments will be accepted through July 11,2026.  Please see below for the rationale behind the requested changes:

IHFS-  To align with the training model via Boys Town.

  • A comprehensive individualized service plan be developed within 30 days instead of 10 days.

The duration/length of this service is expected to be 4-6 months.  Therefore, we also decided to change the following:

  • The comprehensive service plan is revised every 30 days instead of 90 days

CTA:  Regarding staffing requirements, the only change made is to align with Medicaid’s service definition.  

  • Change highlights our CTA’s to be at least 21 years old, with a minimum of two years’ experience working with children OR two years education in the human service field or combination of work experience and education with one year education.
