FY25 Budget Testimony: Child and Family Services Agency

April 25, 2024

Children’s Law Center Senior Supervising Policy Attorney Tami Weerasingha-Cote testified before the Committee on Facilities and Family Services at the Child and Family Services Agency’s budget hearing. We are pleased that the Mayor’s proposed budget for CFSA includes critical investments in placement and prevention, as well as sustained funding for important programs that help keep District children with their families, such as the Grandparent and Close Relative Caregiver subsidy programs. We ask the Council to ensure this funding remains intact throughout the budget process and is included in the final approved budget.
