The MAPPS program serving 6742 at risk girls ages 10 to 19 will be cut by December 31 due to statewide budget decisions. The initiative, funded about 3.6 million annually with federal matching, targets girls in poverty or with teen parent relatives. Teen pregnancy rates are rising after a decade of decline.
