ACTION ALERT - Contact Your Senator to Restore Funding to Individual and Family Support and FHF

  

 

ACT NOW to restore funding the Senate Finance Committee CUT for Individual and Family Support and Families Helping Families.

 

The Senate Finance Committee met on Sunday and REMOVED amendments added by the House for the Individual and Family Support Program and Families Helping Families.  The funding for waiver slots remains in the bill.  We do not yet know the status of the funding added by the House for La. Rehabilitation Services.

 

HB1 now moves to the Senate Floor where it can be amended again.  It will be considered by the full Senate on Wednesday, May 28th.
