This initiative would restore the 16% funding reductions to the Services to At-Risk Youth (STAR) and Community Youth Development (CYD) programs that resulted from the 78th Legislature, so that funding would be continued at their FY 2003 funding level.
This initiative would also re-establish the At-Risk Mentoring, Healthy Families, and Parents as Teachers programs at their FY 2003 funding level. At-Risk Mentoring, Healthy Families, and Parents as Teachers programs were eliminated beginning in FY 2004 due to the funding limitations facing the 78th Legislature.
Restoring STAR and CYD and re-establishing At-Risk Mentoring funding to FY 2003 levels will ensure that an estimated 12,228 children who were not served during FY 2004-2005 will receive services in FY 2006-2007. Restoration of Healthy Families and Parents as Teachers will ensure that an estimated 2,181 families not served during FY 2004-2005 will receive services in FY 2006-2007.
