U48 B-AVf63~ The Honorable Lawton Chiles, Chairman - , Subcommittee on District of Columbia ' Committee on Appropriations ,7 United States Senate - Dear Mr. Chairman: The Senate Subcommittee on District of Columbia Appropriations has been concerned for some time about the District's lack of a comprehensive plan for adequately caring for its needy children. The Subcommittee has been particularly interested in the adequacy of the care given children in the custody of theDepartment of Human Resources-) (DHR). In its report on the District's fiscal year 1975 appro- priation request, the Senate Committee on Appropriations stated it was encouraged that DHR was developing a much- needed Comprehensive Child Care Plan. The Committee also recommended that DHR (1) adopt noninstitutional methods for the care and treatment of delinquent children and children needing supervision and (2) develop coordinated protective services to help children in their own home or neighborhood. The Committee asked us to review DHR's Plan. The Com- mittee's recommendations, its interest in the timely com- pletion of a child care plan, and its request for our review were incorporated in Joint Conference Committee Report No. 93-1291, dated August 15, 1974. On October 29, 1974, DHR submitted to the Mayor its Plan calling for major improvements in child care estimated to cost $138 million over a 5-year period. In response to the Committee's request, we are offering the following ob- servations, comments, and suggestions for your use in over- seeing District operations. The Plan commits DHR to improving the quality of life for all District children. Containing about 300 recommenda- tions, the Plan covers a wide range of services, such as medical, day care, child protection, and housing services. 906 74- GGD-76-11
