In-home day care plan proposed for Proviso Township
Proviso Township may launch an in home day care program to cut welfare rolls and provide low cost care for under three year olds. Lutheran Family Services seeks 15000 dollars to start, with 24000 already raised from Chicago Community Trust and Lutheran Charities. The plan faces health and safety scrutiny and a state license application, while board members debate funding now versus later.
