Victim service providers across Iowa are worried they ll have to provide less help during a time of increasing need if state legislators don t fill a $6 million gap for fiscal year 2021 caused by cuts to a federal grant.
Instead, the Iowa House of Representatives has proposed that the state maintain the same amount of funding as last year, a little more than $5 million. That money goes to 28 groups who assist Iowa families affected by homicide, sexual assault, domestic violence and other crimes. Unfortunately, we just can t afford to backfill all that huge cut, Rep. Gary Worthan, R-Storm Lake, told the Press-Citizen on Tuesday.
