Action Alert! Save Crucial Funding for Child Well-Being Programs!

 

 

 

 

ACTION ALERT April 18, 2012 It's Not Over Yet... Encourage your Representative to support budget amendments that will save funding for programs vital to children's well-being.   As you may know, last week the House Ways and Means Committee released its FY 2013 Budget proposal. We are thrilled that some of the key services that children and families rely on received increased funding, but we are very concerned about inadequate funding levels proposed for others services. The Foster Child State College Tuition and Fee waiver program was only funded for half of the academic year and language was inserted that would limit the waiver to those with very low income levels. Funding for DCF-involved families to receive the in and out of home supports they need to stay together or reunite was eliminated. Mental health consultations in early education programs remain funded at $750,000, far below the FY 2009 funding level of $2.4 million. Healthy Families funding for teen parent services was cut by $300,000. Funding for the MA Child Psychiatry Access Project funding is not sufficient to restore program operations to five days per week. Early Intervention Services are funded at a level that jeopardizes eligibility criteria and compromises staff retention efforts. These programs have proven effective in helping children overcome significant challenges and gain the skills they need to become productive, healthy adults and caring and dependable parents. Please CLICK HERE to ask your State Representative to support amendments to the House budget that protect these programs and improve the well-being of at-risk children and youth.   Stay connected with MSPCC:

Subject: Governor's Statewide Youth Council

Dear Colleague, I write to inform you of an exciting opportunity for youth to participate in state government. The Governor’s Office of Community Affairs is actively accepting applications for membership in the Governor’s Statewide Youth Council.  Founded in 2008, the goal of the Council is to encourage the Commonwealth’s young people to take on an active leadership role in their communities and give them a greater voice in state government.  The Youth Council acts an advisory body to the Governor and our Administration with a focus on youth-related issues such as education, youth violence, economic development and civic engagement.   This past January, Youth Council members hosted “No Name Calling Day” in dozens of communities across the Commonwealth to continue the work of Governor Patrick’s historic anti-bullying legislation. The Governor’s Office will select 28 young people to represent the Commonwealth’s 14 counties – two representatives per county.   Youth Council applicants should be passionate, motivated, emerging leaders between the ages of 14 and 20 with an interest in public service.  Responsibilities will include: attending monthly meetings and conference calls, advocating for youth issues and incorporating the ideas of other youth and young adults into the creation of effective policy. Youth can apply to serve on the Council by submitting an application available at www.mass.gov/governor/youthcouncil by Friday, May 25, 2012.  A selection committee will review applications and select the 28 members, who will then be notified via mail.  For additional information, please contact the Office of Community Affairs at 617-725-4020. Please forward the attached application to your network to help us reach as many young people as possible.  Thank you, in advance, for your support and enthusiasm.  I look forward to welcoming the new members of the 2012-2014 Youth Council. Sincerely, William “Mo” Cowan Chief of Staff, Office of the Governor
