Children
Under current law, $340,000 in federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant moneys are transferred from DWD to the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board (CANPB) in each fiscal year. This bill eliminates that transfer and instead appropriates general purpose revenues to the CANPB for grants to organizations for the establishment of child abuse and neglect prevention programs, early childhood family education centers, and right from the start projects.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Health and human services
Public assistance
Under current law, DHFS uses general purpose revenue (GPR) and federal moneys received under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program for providing grants to organizations that provide various types of domestic abuse services; for providing grants to nonprofit corporations and county departments of human services or social services for programs to prevent and reduce youth violence, the incidence of youth alcohol and other drug abuse, and the incidence of nonmarital pregnancy; and for providing grants to American Indian tribes and bands for providing services related to vocational preparation and reducing high school dropout rates, pregnancy prevention, and developing skills to increase economic self-sufficiency. This bill maintains the funding level for these programs but replaces the TANF funding with funding from GPR.
Other health and human services
Under the Domestic Abuse Grants Program in current law, DHFS provides grants to organizations that provide various types of domestic abuse services, such as shelter facilities and victim counseling. In addition to providing general grant authority, current law directs DHFS to provide grants in specific amounts to specific organizations, such as a grant in each fiscal year to the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence for the cost of a staff person to provide assistance in obtaining legal services. The bill provides that under the program DHFS must provide a grant of $563,500 in each fiscal year to the Refugee Family Strengthening Project for providing domestic abuse services to the refugee population, including the cost of hiring bilingual staff persons, especially those who speak Hmong.
