Iowa’s Department of Social Services proposes to continue support for the Linn County Shelter Care Facility, preserving care for short-term foster youths. Without funding, county would face hard choices about state clients and possible closure of the four year old facility on Fifth Avenue SE. The plan may allow planning for a second shelter and possible start-up grants while protecting youth services. A CBS mini series on John Dean airs as a potential spinoff topic.
