Office of Licensing and Monitoring

On-Line Report Summaries

The Office of Licensing and Monitoring (OLM) is committed to ensuring the health and safety of children placed in Residential Child Care Programs (RCCs) and Child Placement Agencies (CPAs).  In service to that commitment, we work diligently to ensure that RCCs and CPAs meet the standards determined by law and the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR).

Our Licensing Coordinators are tasked with monitoring all agencies licensed through the Department of Human Services.  Licensing Coordinators execute this responsibility through site inspections, record reviews, and in-person interviews with youth, foster parents, staff, and board members. All monitoring activities occur annually, throughout the year and across site inspections.

The OLM is providing you with a summary of the results of each quarterly site visit.  The report reflects the professional assessments and observations of our Licensing Coordinators and provides an overall view of how Providers are doing in providing care to children and youth as it relates to COMAR.   You may see that Providers that are active or re-licensed have COMAR violations noted in the report.  In these instances, the OLM has determined that the violations do not present a risk to the health and safety of children based on impact, scope, and frequency.  Even so, Providers are required to remediate any COMAR violations cited.
