health and human services
Other health and human services
Currently, county departments of human services, developmental disabilities services, or community programs administer the Family Support Program, under which parents of eligible disabled children care for the children in their homes, rather than placing the children in institutions. DHFS must promulgate rules for the Family Support Program, including criteria by which county departments may determine priorities for available funding.
This bill requires that, rather than promulgating rules by which counties determine funding priorities under the Family Support Program, DHFS establishes the criteria for service priority to ensure that funds are used consistently and effectively.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
