California’s Budget Cuts Threaten Vital Support for Low-Income Families
California’s Home Visiting Program: A Lifeline for Vulnerable Families
According to KQED, California‘s government is talking about making big changes to how it spends its money. One thing they’re considering is cutting funding for a program that helps low-income families with young children. This program sends nurses, social workers, or other helpers to visit families at their homes and give them advice and support.
The people who run this program are worried that these cuts will be very bad for families. They say that this program has already been shown to make a big difference in the lives of these families. It helps them get the help they need, like housing or mental health services.
California’s Budget Battle: Will Low-Income Families Lose a Vital Support Program?
Some politicians are saying that we should keep funding this program instead of cutting it. They think it’s important to support families who need help. The government is still deciding what to do, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
