OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
Oklahoma is to receive more than $5 million in federal grants to help
fund services for foster children and families.
The Oklahoma Department of
Human Services is getting $3.2 million to fund a 5-year project to
provide mental and behavioral health services for children, youth and
families. Several agencies are to partner with the department in
providing the services.
A $2 million grant is being
awarded to NorthCare for a 3-year program to provide care coordination
to foster families in Oklahoma County.
Both projects are to support the state's child welfare improvement plan known as the Pinnacle Plan.
