Payment Gap

Posted online
At the Springfield campus of Boys & Girls Town of Missouri Missouri, Gov. Matt Blunt touts a funding increase for residential care facilities for some of the state's most vulnerable children.

“There is a gap between what the state pays and what it costs to provide safe settings for at-risk children and permanent placement for children who cannot return home,” Blunt said in a news release.

Blunt will recommend a $2.9 million general revenue increase for residential treatment programs that will draw an additional $3.6 million in federal funds.
