The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America - Brief Article

Sarah Karp

Nonprofits will bow out of state contracts unless they can get more funding, writes Dan Schwick, director of Lutheran Advocacy Network, the public policy office of the Illinois branch of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Writing in the July issue of illinois Welfare News, a publication of the Chicago-based National Center on Poverty Law, Schwick notes that a coalition of private agencies asked the Illinois General Assembly to increase payments for services like finding foster parents and providing job training for welfare recipients by 4 percent--the minimum increase needed to ensure continuous services. Yet in May, lawmakers voted to increase funding by 0.5 percent. "The state needs to find the funds to pay for the true cost of services," Schwick writes. "As it is, the state is asking the private providers to subsidize the state by providing services on behalf of the state for far less than the true cost."
