RAP runaways program shows declines amid unclear causes in Linn County
Cedar Rapids based RAP program operated by Foundation II reports a drop from 9000 annual Iowa runaways to 400 individuals in Linn County by end of 1999. The project logs 574 runaway reports affecting 400 youths, with 189 families helped through external services and 124 via RAP counseling. Investigators seek factors beyond precise recordkeeping for the decline while costs remained lower than expected. Local officials and legislators discuss continued funding and potential state expansion via county and statewide funding mechanisms.
