Residential Care Center Division of Milwaukee Child Welfare Information for Agencies licensed through DCF 52 You must be licensed as a Residential Care Center (RCC) for placement of children under a Child in Need of Protection and Services (CHIPS) order before requesting a contract with DMCW. The registration and contract process is open: any newly licensed RCC, or existing RCC not currently under contract, may submit a registration form to DMCW at any time during the calendar year. For RCCs currently under contract, a registration form must be submitted annually and is due no later than the date outlined on the registration form. A link to the registration form and the Scope of Service for the current contract year and the next contract year are below. Registration Form 2026 Scope of Service It is important that you submit a completed registration form to avoid delaying the registration and contracting process. The information in your registration form will also be used by the Contracted Case Management Agencies and the Placement Referral Unit to make appropriate placement referrals for children/youth. Following a satisfactory paper review, a site visit may be scheduled by the DMCW Contract Administrator. Please note: Although a contract may be granted, DMCW does not guarantee the placement of children within any RCC. All placements are determined based on the specific needs of the child.
