DHS downsizes Iowa Juvenile Home Toledo to be girls only
Iowa DHS laid off 93 staff effective Jan 16 and plans to place 21 youths from the Toledo facility while evaluating alternative care options. Task force findings cited licensure challenges from mixed delinquent and CINA populations and recommended a girls only, privately overseen model. Democratic critics call the move hasty and harmful to children and staff.
