The New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF) has published its FY2027 Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Intended Use Plan showing $44,886,000 in SSBG funds plus $9,377,000 in TANF transfers, with $38,255,000 budgeted for case management services and $5,078,600 for administrative costs. Case management is delivered statewide by DCF’s child protection and welfare division and includes intake via the State Central Registry hotline, assessment, planning, and ongoing support for maltreated or at-risk children and their families. This is an ongoing, federally funded program rather than a single procurement, but it signals stable multi-source funding (SSBG, TANF, Title IV-E/IV-B, Medicaid and others) for child welfare operations and enabling systems through at least state fiscal year 2027.Vendors that support case management efficiency, reporting/analytics (NJCFS and Business Objects are core systems), workforce well-being, and evidence-based service delivery can position offerings as ways to strengthen these grant-funded activities and future spending decisions tied to this funding stream.

DCF uses the New Jersey Comprehensive Financial System (NJCFS) and an automated Business Objects environment for fiscal management, reporting, and analytics tied to SSBG.
