Foxhaven praised as underfunded Iowa human services chief
Sen Mark Segebart warned opponents that Foxhaven faces a hard search for a stronger candidate after taking the helm of a department serving over 1 million Iowa residents. The agency oversees Medicaid food aid child welfare mental health and disability services with more than 4600 employees amid long standing Medicaid privatization fallout. Foxhaven called the post a dream opportunity and earned trust among workers while tackling underfunding staff shortages and unresolved Medicaid issues dating back to prior policy shifts and facility closures.

It sets up nonjudicial mental health determinations, addresses data sharing with law enforcement, and seeks bipartisan support amid funding concerns.
