<br />- City Manager’s Report -
<br />
<br />18 - 217 - Adoption of an ordinance accepting adoption assistance funds in the
<br />amount of $64,735 from the Virginia Department of Social Services and
<br />appropriating said amount in the FY 2018 Social Services Fund for use by the
<br />Department of Social Services to provide adoption assistance.
<br />
<br />Background:
<br />
<br /> The purpose of adoption assistance is to facilitate adoptive placements and ensure
<br />permanency for children with special needs. Many of these children have experienced
<br />traumatic events that have increased their risk for developmental, physical, emotional,
<br />and/or behavioral challenges.
