Providers are invited to attend a virtual informational session regarding the proposed regulatory chapters for Residential Services for Children. This session will provide highlights of the key changes being proposed to regulations governing child residential settings (including parent/child settings and outdoor programs), secure detention, and secure residential facilities. These proposed regulatory chapters are identified as:

  • 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3900 Child and Youth Facility Requirements
  • 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3910 Child Residential Facilities
  • 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3920 Secure Residential and Secure Detention Facilities for Youth

These proposed regulatory chapters currently are under review within the Governor’s Office, and the Office of Children, Youth, Families (OCYF) is projecting publication in the last quarter of calendar year 2025. There will be a 60-day comment period following publication of the proposed regulations.

In advance of publication, however, OCYF is extending the opportunity to attend an informational session to highlight proposed key changes to existing practices.

DATE: There are two dates you can attend. The content will be the same at each session.

TIME: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm (the same for both sessions)

RCPA, as part of the Children’s Residential Services and Children’s MH Division, will be assembling a regulatory review team as part of the regulatory promulgation and public comment process. RCPA has performed a similar review for the PRTF, Crisis, IBHS, and Outpatient Psychiatric processes, as well as a host of other DHS regulatory efforts.

If you are interested in being a part of this review, please contact RCPA Mental Health Policy Associate Emma Sharp. RCPA will convene a Chapter 3900 Work Group within a week of the OCYF presentation.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) invites individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or autism and their families to join in a virtual exploration and discussion with members of the Division of Policy and Program Innovation. These sessions are informal, meaning the conversation will not be recorded, and rules will be set before the session starts to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to provide questions and comments. The session will be held through Microsoft Teams.

Please note: This event is being held only for individuals and family members; this is not an event for someone who is only a professional.

What Will Be Covered?
Family members often want to stay as involved as possible with the services their relative receives. This session will consist of an overview of services that family members can provide through ODP’s 1915(c) waivers, as well as who is considered family and other important definitions. The session will also include time to explore where this information can be found.

Audience:
Individuals and Families

Date:
September 18, 2025, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm

The status of the PA state budget continues to impact every provider, insurer, and health care organization. With funding in limbo and federal Medicaid cuts already causing disruptions in services, providers are having to work together and create unique solutions to funding and providing patients with quality care.

At the 2025 RCPA Conference Strive to Thrive, RCPA is hosting an Agency Leadership Discussion Panel comprised of experts who have been following the status of Pennsylvania’s budget. The panel will include professional input from:

Paul Dlugolecki
Brier Dlugolecki Strategies
Jack Phillips
Novak Strategies
Jenn Tyler
Wojdak Government Relations

Join this panel on Wednesday, September 10, in the Crystal A room, from 3:15 pm – 4:15 pm, where they will:

  • Discuss the current status of the budget and potential timelines;
  • Analyze the impacts of the budget impasse and the budget itself on providers and health care organizations;
  • Share strategies that providers are using to continue providing care to their patients; and
  • Host a Q&A with attendees for an open, honest discussion on what is happening and what providers can do to support themselves and others.
Register today for the 2025 Conference and reserve your seat. View the Registration Brochure for complete details regarding our schedule, booking a hotel room, and more!
