Conn. Agencies Regs. § 17a-11-4
Regulations 17a-11-4 through 17a-11-27, inclusive, apply to voluntary services provided by the Department of Children and Families pursuant to section 17a-11 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The voluntary services program provides services for children or youths requiring community based treatment or temporary residential or other out of home placement who might otherwise be committed as neglected, uncared for, or dependent as provided for in section 46b-129 of the Connecticut General Statutes in order to secure department services. The program is designed to encourage the preservation and enhancement of family relationships and the continuing rights and responsibilities of parents even though limited financial resources prevent them from providing the required care and treatment for their child.
