The Coalition Testifies at Human Services Budget Hearing

Kristie Oliver, Executive Director of the Coalition for Family and Children’s Services in Iowa (Coalition) testified on behalf of Iowa's children and families and the organizations that serve them at the Department of Human Services SFY 2012 budget hearing. Referring to issues impacting Iowa’s Child Welfare System, the Coalition cautioned the Council on Human Services members of the risk of not supporting decisions that support the child’s safety, permanency and well-being. The Coalition asked for the Council to encourage and provide rates to Child and Family Service providers that meet the federal guidelines.

In addition, the Coalition asked that funding must reflect not just striving to meet the CFSR outcomes, but instead to exceed those outcomes for the best interest of children and families.
