Missouri House Republicans propose eliminating state funding for three Family Resource Centers, vital to foster children and families. These centers, currently receiving $10 million annually, provide crisis help, therapy, housing, and family training. The proposal, from Representative Dirk Deaton, caught groups like FosterAdopt Connect and the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition off guard. Agency heads warn of massive cuts, potentially leaving thousands of families without essential services. Deaton, however, has shown openness to partial funding, and advocates plan to rally during spring break to protect these services.
