1 6 "# . Page 1, by inserting after line 34 the
1 7 following:
1 8 " . The department shall research the
1 9 feasibility of establishing a program of developing
1 10 community-based residential facilities or "second
1 11 chance homes" for young mothers and children. The
1 12 research shall consider potential benefits of second
1 13 chance homes including the potential effects of
1 14 deterring child abuse by use of the homes. The
1 15 research is subject to all of the following
1 16 provisions:
1 17 a. The department shall consider developing the
1 18 home in a manner to provide supervision by mature
1 19 adult couples. The program should coordinate
1 20 comprehensive services for pregnant or parenting
1 21 teens, including but not limited to educational
1 22 services, vocational services, personal and family
1 23 counseling, parent education classes, and assistance
1 24 in developing independent living and homemaking
1 25 skills.
1 26 b. The department shall consider various options
1 27 for designing second chance homes so that the homes
1 28 will not necessarily be government-operated
1 29 institutions. The options considered shall include
1 30 operation by churches and community groups with state
1 31 guidance through administrative rules. If the program
1 32 is implemented, administrative rules will delineate
1 33 how the homes will be structured and specify the
1 34 combination of support, services, and participant
1 35 obligations to help teenage mothers to become good
1 36 mothers, finish school, and gain adequate skills to
1 37 support their children.
1 38 c. The department shall consider a design which
1 39 provides incentive grants to communities that pledge
1 40 private funding and in-kind services equal to at least
1 41 one-half of the cost of operating a second chance
1 42 home. In addition, operating expenses could be
1 43 supported in part by participants' welfare payments,
1 44 food stamps, housing assistance, and other forms of
1 45 public assistance for which participants are eligible,
1 46 as well as a commitment from communities.
1 47 d. The department shall submit a report to the
1 48 general assembly on or before January 8, 1996,
1 49 concerning the research conducted pursuant to this
1 50 subsection.""
