It is New York’s at-risk children who may bear the greatest burden of the recession as it becomes common practice to cut state and local funding for the programs that are proven to help children succeed and stay free of crime. And that will become a burden we will all share, down the road. Fortunately, at the federal level, a new commitment to health reform and evidence-based practices promises to make more routine funding available for proven programs that will help children become productive, law-abiding citizens. By shifting the paradigm so that children more routinely have access to needed and effective services, New York and the country can dramatically reduce future needs for child welfare and criminal justice spending by helping kids become healthy, productive and crime-free citizens. This report will focus on two questions: What programs are both proven to work and ready to go to scale? And, what are the most likely sources of substantial and sustainable federal funding for these programs? Further White Papers will follow to provide timely information on the evolving status of these funding streams and guidance on how they can be accessed for particular programs.
