Community Foundation of Utah

This morning readers of the Salt Lake Tribune learned that a home for pregnant teen women is closing after almost 30 years of serving our community. In this story from New jersey , the fall out from closing a program for addicted women and their children shows how difficult these decisions are -- and who really pays the price. It is essentially a bureaucratic fight -- featuring a state contractor, the service provider, a reduction in reimbursement rates and the fall out of the economy.  New Jersey invested more than $4 million in this facility, but wants the money back now that the program has been closed. The nonprofit said they had no choice but to close because the rates were reduced. And the moms and their kids?  No one seems to know what will happen to them.
