InterAgency Resolution Unit (IRU) | New York State Council on Children and Families (NYSCCF)

Works collaboratively with state agency, local partners, and families to identify solutions. Serves children, youth, and young adults from birth to age 22 with physical, emotional, developmental, and/or intellectual disabilities who have multiple care needs and are experiencing difficulty accessing services. Works with state and local agencies and parents to identify and resolve inter-agency issues and jurisdictional disputes that impede access to services. The primary objectives are to ensure that individual children receive the most appropriate community-based or residential services; minimize delays in arranging services; resolve service disputes; and facilitate the development of specific services and programs designed to meet the needs of children and youth with non-traditional or complex needs.
