plan for 20182019 and the needs based plan for 2019-2020 to the State. Mr. Amsley
further explained the increase in placements is due to the following reasons: caretaker
inability to care, parents with mental health needs, no jobs, no housing, incarcerated
parents and the primary driver right now is parents and substance use. He said there are
also more children with mental health behavior issues. Mr. Amsley explained the
