County eyes suit for more state aid at Haverford
Delco approved a $1 million contract with the state DPW for care and housing of former patients at Haverford State Hospital. Dr. Steve Chafetz says the county should receive about $3 million and urged exploring legal action to secure additional funding. He warned beds could be reduced from 245 as the state downsizes, while federal funding shifts away from chronic mental illness programs.
