SCS/SB 698- This act creates the "Family Investment Trust". The trust is designed to network agencies and community partnerships using the Caring Communities model to develop a statewide system for community-based delivery of services to Missouri's children, youth and families.
The trust is governed by a board comprised of seven private sector individuals and the Directors of the Departments of Corrections, Elementary and Secondary Education, Health, Labor and Industrial Relations, Economic Development, Mental Health and Social Services.
The board will be responsible for recruiting and chartering
community partnerships throughout the state, providing assistance
to the partnerships to identify the community's needs and
development of strategic plans for continued collaboration.
Additionally, the board will advise the Governor and General
Assembly on changes necessary to enhance the accountability of
service delivery at the community level.
