Introduction

Local Management Boards (Boards) were established in the 1990s as part of a State/local collaboration committed

to improving the well-being of Maryland’s children, youth, and families. The Boards were created to promote

improved, coordinated local decision-making that focuses on results and accountability. The premise was, and

continues to be, that health, education, economic, and social outcomes are more likely to be improved if decisions

about programs and strategies are made by local jurisdictions with the funding, support, guidelines, and

accountability managed by the State.

The jurisdictions, through their Boards, bring the knowledge of local needs, resources, and strengths. The Boards

bring together public and private agencies, local government, faith-based and civic organizations, families, youth,

and community members to develop, implement, and review a community plan. The plan includes strategies to

improve outcomes for one or more of the priorities, results and indicators in the State of Maryland. In FY 2023

Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services (GOCPYV) identified the following as priority

areas:
