There was no associated payback. 2. DSS Visitation Rental Nancy Coston informed the Board that staff have found a property to rent to help facilitate family time in child welfare. Staff are working on the lease and hope to be able to utilize it beginning next month. There are some staffing issues to resolve and there may be related budget requests. Oscar Fleming asked what success would look like with this project. Ms. Coston responded that being able to provide more time and space for visits. The true outcome would be to speed up reunification. 1
