Explanation of Estimate:
LB 348 appropriates funds for domestic violence services to the Department for Child Welfare Program 354.
Children and Family Services (CFS) currently provides domestic violence services explicitly to CFS-involved
families, and a portion of the funds is allocated to general domestic violence programs across the state. The
Department of Health and Human Services currently allocates $1.73 million in general funds and $1.15 million
in federal funds for domestic violence programs.
This bill would require CFS to draft new contracts to utilize the funds. The work required to update and monitor
the contracts and coordinate the funds would be absorbed by existing staff.
