SPRINGFIELD – Community-based child welfare providers are asking the state for $30.7 million in emergency funding to combat low wages, high employee turnover rates and inadequate resources which have caused some of them to cut programs or close. Representatives of several of those private providers, which serve more than 80 percent of children and families in the state’s child welfare system, held a news conference Thursday calling on lawmakers to include the money in the fiscal year 2020 budget which could be passed by May 31. The money would go to the state’s Department of Children and Family Services, which would increase the rates for services contracted through the private providers.
