Department of Human Services Hosts Annual Conference on Foster Care, Adoption Services and Recognizes Pennsylvanians Committed to Helping Find Children a Forever Home
Pocono Manor, PA - This week, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) hosted the 33rd Annual Pennsylvania Permanency Conference in Monroe County, bringing together child welfare professionals, current and prospective foster or adoptive families, kinship care providers, and others to collaborateand learn ways to help children and families through the adoption and permanency process.
The Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN) began in 1992, and since then has made nearly 59,000 adoptions in Pennsylvania possible. Pennsylvania averages 2,000 finalized adoptions from the child welfare system each fiscal year. There are more than 12,400 Pennsylvania children served in out-of-home care every six months, and nearly three thousand of those youth are in need of forever homes.
"Every year we gather to recognize the dedicated people -- county agency staff, foster and adoptive parents, child welfare professionals - who work every day to find Pennsylvania's children and youth their forever home. This work is vital, because every single one of Pennsylvania's children deserves to grow and thrive in a safe, loving environment, and parents deserve support and partnership in raising healthy, happy children," said DHS Secretary Dr. Val Arkoosh. "I am incredibly proud that we have been able to achieve this for almost 59,000 Pennsylvania children, and I urge anyone who may have a place in their heart and in their home for a child to please consider adoption so we may continue this progress."
The Annual Pennsylvania Permanency Conference's mission is to prepare children and their families for their journey towards permanency, educate and support all those involved in finding permanent homes for Pennsylvania's foster children, and provide an opportunity for children to be matched with prospective foster and adoptive families.
The conference also includes an awards ceremony recognizing those who help children and youth achieve permanent homes. This year's award winners include:

NCDHHS Director of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services on Elimination of Federal Funding for 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dedicated to LGBTQ+ Youth Services
The United States Department of Health and Human Services recently announced it would eliminate federal funding for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline service dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth services. On July 17, 2025, people who call 988 will no longer have theoption to Press 3, specific to LGBTQ+ youth considering suicide. In response, and to reaffirm North Carolina's commitment to serving everyone who calls 988 for crisis care, Kelly Crosbie, NCDHHS Director of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services, released the following statement.
"The need for mental health care for young people in North Carolina has never been greater, and we are committed to reaching every person in every community in every corner of our state. North Carolina is a national leader in 988 implementation, with calls being answered in under 14 seconds on average, with every call being answered. This will not end with the elimination of federal dollars to support the 988 option to press 3 for the LGBTQ+ community. More than 8,000 North Carolinians call the 988 Lifeline each month for support. Everyone can and should still call 988, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. Experienced and trained 988 operators will respond to all calls and ensure that people receive the support and resources that they need.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people aged 10 to 14, and a leading cause of death among 15-24-year-olds. LGBTQ+ young people are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. In North Carolina, there will always be someone to call, someone to respond and somewhere to go if you are in crisis or just need someone to talk to.
In addition to being a national leader in crisis care, we are working to transform mental health care in North Carolina to build a system that works for everyone and supports people through their mental and behavioral health journey."

Attorney General Brown Joins Multistate Coalition in Support of Lawsuits Challenging Public Media Funding Cuts
BALTIMORE, MD (June 20, 2025) - Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today filed an amicus brief (https://www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/News%20Documents/062025_PBS_Amicus_Brief.pdf) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, along with 21 other attorneys general, in support of two lawsuits brought by National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public BroadcastingService (PBS) that seek to block proposed funding cuts to their organizations and local affiliates.
"Maryland NPR and PBS stations broadcast critical updates during emergencies, keep Marylanders up to date on the latest actions taken by their state and local governments and elected officials, and provide free children's educational programming, a lifeline for families who otherwise couldn't afford educational resources outside the classroom," said Attorney General Brown. "The Trump administration's funding cuts would hurt all Marylanders, especially those from rural, immigrant, and low-income communities that depend on NPR and PBS' vital reports to stay informed."
At issue in the case is an executive order signed by President Trump on May 1 directing the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and executive branch agencies to end federal funding for NPR and PBS. On May 27, NPR and three Colorado public radio stations--Colorado Public Radio, Aspen Public Radio, and tribal-serving KSUT in southwestern Colorado--sued to block the proposed cuts. PBS and a Minnesota-based affiliate filed a separate lawsuit on May 30.
The coalition of attorneys general argue that public broadcast stations serve a critical role in delivering information to the public and the proposed cuts would gravely harm Americans. The coalition says the funding cuts would create risks to public safety and erode trust by threatening coverage of local news, creating disruptions to the distribution of emergency notifications, reducing critical educational services, and limiting public media's unique reach to rural and tribal audiences.
In the brief, filed concurrently today in both lawsuits, the coalition outlines some of the harms people in their states will face if the cuts move forward. These include threats to emergency notification systems like the Emergency Alert System, or EAS. Many states, including Maryland, rely on public broadcast stations to serve as primary or secondary stations to deliver EAS messages to the public during emergencies. Additionally, other infrastructure provided by NPR and PBS serve as important backups for emergency notifications in the event of electrical or internet outages.
Maryland's public broadcasters cover more than 95% of the state and provide emergency alerts in multiple languages, reaching communities that might not get this vital information any other way. For example, Maryland Public Television operates six transmission towers and has a direct connection to the Maryland State House, allowing the Governor to broadcast statewide alerts quickly during emergencies. Other emergency notifications disseminated via public media include Amber Alerts for abducted children, Blue Alerts for notifying the public of suspects who have killed or seriously injured law enforcement officers, Silver Alerts used when older people or people with developmental disabilities go missing, and Missing Indigenous Person Alerts that are critical for tribal communities.
The brief also outlines how public broadcasters serve important educational roles, such as Maryland Public Television, which provides digital learning content through ThinkPort.org, that thousands of people in Maryland's educational communities use for student instruction, professional learning courses, and early childhood education.
In addition, the brief outlines how Maryland residents would lose access to important government information. Since 2020, Maryland Public Television has partnered with the state to livestream House floor sessions, and since 2022 they've streamed both House and Senate sessions. They also broadcast important political events like mayoral debates and the State of the State address, helping voters stay informed about their elected officials and key issues.
Finally, the brief highlights the disproportionate threats to rural and tribal areas posed by the cuts. Delmarva Public Media--operated by Salisbury University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore--covers local news and weather for more than 40,000 weekly listeners in the rural Delmarva region, while Frostburg State University's WFWM provides coverage in isolated parts of Appalachia. Stations such as these are often the only local news sources in what would otherwise be news deserts.
Joining Attorney General Brown in filing the brief are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregan, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.

AUGUSTA, Maine, June 21 -- Gov. Janet Mills, D-Maine, issued the following radio address:
* * *
Housing Creates a Place for Everyone in Maine
This is Governor Janet Mills, and thank you for listening.
You know, in 1999, a helicopter hoisted a six-ton steel frame with a new three-sided sign onto one of the tallest buildings in Portland. When its hundreds of light bulbs were illuminated again, the historic sign spelled out a simple message that folks could see as far as Peaks Island. It said simply: "I AM BACK."
That sign above the Time and Temperature Building in Portland has been an iconicpart of the skyline since it was first installed in 1964. The building itself, originally named the Chapman Building, dates back even further to 1924. While it once housed Maine's first indoor shopping center, the Time and Temperature building was eventually left vacant. But thanks to significant housing investments by my administration, I'm proud to say we're bringing tenants back to that historic landmark.
This week, Maine Housing awarded $13.4 million to developers to create 129 new apartments in Portland and Lewiston. In Portland, developers will create 41 affordable apartments for seniors in the Time and Temperature building. In Lewiston, developers will create a total of 88 affordable apartments -- 44 at the former Martel School location, and 44 at a site at the corner of Ash and Bates Streets downtown.
These new apartments in Lewiston and Portland are just the latest of those being built because of our work with the Legislature to address Maine's housing needs. Since I took office as your governor in 2019, we've authorized almost $315 million for the construction of more apartments and homes. These state and federal funds and tax credits have resulted in more than 1,500 new units so far, with more than 1,400 under construction and more than 2,200 units in the pipeline for construction -- the most ever in Maine Housing's history.
Just this year, in April, I was proud to announce that MaineHousing awarded $23.5 million to developers to build 137 apartments in communities across the state in Madison, Winslow, Rockland, Poland, Yarmouth and Rangeley. And in May, MaineHousing awarded $9.3 million to developers to construct 169 new single-family homes in communities like Sanford, Rumford, Waterville, Monmouth and Bangor. And earlier this year, I was pleased to join the people of downtown Skowhegan to celebrate the revitalized Spinning Mill building, a long-vacant industrial site that's now been transformed into a vibrant residential and commercial center with 41 new apartments plus a restaurant and other amenities.
Whether you're retired or you're working full time, or you're looking to rent an apartment in a rural community, or looking to buy a first home in a city, there should be a place for everyone in Maine. While the need for housing in our state is still significant, as it is in most states, I'm proud of the buildings that we've revived, restored, and reimagined for Maine families, buildings that many of which now say in their own way, "I AM BACK."
May these homes be a lasting sign to Maine people that there is a place for them here, now, and for generations to come.
This is Governor Janet Mills, and thank you for listening.

Illinois Payroll Jobs Hold Steady, Unemployment Rate Unchanged in May
The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) announced today nonfarm payrolls were nearly unchanged over-the-month, up +100 (0.0%) to 6,166,100 in May. Additionally, the April monthly change in payrolls was revised from the preliminary report, from +4,100 to -2,400.
The unemployment rate was 4.8 percent in May, while the revised April unemployment rate was 4.8 percent, unchanged fromthe preliminary April unemployment rate. The May payroll jobs estimate and unemployment rate reflect activity for the week including the 12th.
The industry sectors with the largest over-the-month job increases included: Professional and Business Services (+1,900), Financial Activities (+1,600), and Leisure and Hospitality (+1,100). The industry sectors with the largest monthly payroll job decreases included: Trade, Transportation and Utilities (-2,800), Government (-2,400), and Private Education and Health Services (-200).
Compared to a year ago, total nonfarm payroll jobs increased by +21,200 jobs. The industry groups with the largest jobs increases included: Private Education and Health Services (+16,100), Leisure and Hospitality (+7,800), and Government (+7,000). The industry groups with jobs decreases included: Professional and Business Services (-8,600), Manufacturing (-5,300), and Trade, Transportation and Utilities (-5,000). In May, total nonfarm payrolls were up +0.3 percent over-the-year in Illinois and up +1.1 percent in the nation.
"Amid continued challenges and changes in economic policies on the federal level, Illinois' labor market remained stable in May," said Deputy Governor Andy Manar. "The state's steady economic performance provides a reliable foundation for businesses and workers as they navigate changing conditions."
"A steady labor market is a testament to the state's strength and commitment to creating economic growth and opportunity for all Illinoisans," said DCEO Director Kristin Richards. "DCEO is dedicated to prioritizing investments in our workforce to help bolster Illinois' economy."
The number of unemployed workers was 318,600, down -1.0% from the prior month, and down -5.9 percent over the same month one year ago. The labor force decreased (-0.2%) over-the-month and was almost unchanged (0.0%) over-the-year. The unemployment rate identifies those individuals who are out of work and seeking employment. An individual who exhausts or is ineligible for benefits is still reflected in the unemployment rate if they actively seek work.IDES helps connect jobseekers to employers who are hiring in a number of ways, including hosting and co-hosting job fairs and hiring events with statewide workforce partners, and through maintaining Illinois JobLink (IJL), the state's largest job search engine. IJL is a tool used by jobseekers to look for work, and by employers who can post open and available positions for hire and browse resumes. Recently, IJL showed 59,637 posted resumes with 67,400 jobs available. Additionally, in partnership with IDOL and DCEO, IDES published resources to assist federal employees and contractors impacted by recent terminations or deferred resignations.

Attorney General Schwalb Sues Anti-Violence Organization and Its CEO for Misappropriating More Than $250,000 In Nonprofit Funds
OAG Previously Terminated Cure the Streets Contract with Women in H.E.E.L.S, Now Seeks to Recover Misused Funds
*
Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced a lawsuit against Women in H.E.E.L.S (Healing, Elevation, Empowerment, Love, Support), Inc. (WIH), a non-profit organization with the stated purpose of reducing violenceand supporting women and girls, and Ikeia Hardy, its former CEO, for misusing nonprofit funds. In its lawsuit, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) alleges that more than $250,000 in government grant funds intended to support gun-violence prevention work through OAG's Cure the Streets program were misappropriated. The lawsuit seeks to recover the misappropriated funds.
"Women in H.E.E.L.S. and Hardy misused grant funds intended to keep District residents safe--taking advantage of taxpayers and undermining gun violence prevention efforts in Congress Heights," said Attorney General Schwalb. "My office holds our grantees accountable through rigorous oversight and as soon as we become aware of this illegal conduct, we terminated the Women in H.E.E.L.S. grant. Now, we are seeking to recover the misappropriated funds and ensure that they are redirected toward public safety efforts in the District."
Hardy incorporated WIH as a DC nonprofit in November 2020. In March 2022, OAG awarded grant funding to WIH to operate one of four new violence-reduction program sites as part of OAG's Cure the Streets (CTS) program. OAG awarded the grants through a competitive process, and selected WIH to operate a CTS program site in Ward 8's Congress Heights neighborhood.
CTS is a community-based public safety program funded by OAG that aims to reduce shootings and gun homicides in areas of the District where gun violence has been a persistent problem. OAG provides grant funding to qualified local organizations, which implement the CTS program in designated neighborhoods. The program uses a data-driven, public health approach to making communities safer by de-escalating potentially violent conflicts and intervening with individuals who are at high risk of committing violence or becoming victims of violence.
WIH received grant funding of up to $814,000 annually in Fiscal Years (FY) 2022 and 2023 to operate the Congress Heights CTS site. In 2023, OAG discovered financial irregularities at WIH and moved swiftly to suspend and then terminate WIH's grant funding. After further investigation, and after giving WIH and Hardy multiple opportunities to explain their conduct, OAG filed suit alleging that WIH and Hardy violated District law by:
* Diverting $57,302 in charitable funds to Hardy's personal checking account. From June 2022 until March 2023, Hardy transferred $57,302.48 in nonprofit funds--which were also District grant funds--from WIH's business and savings accounts to her personal checking account.
* Failing to return more than $200,000 in unspent grant funds after WIH's grant agreement was terminated. When WIH's grant agreement was terminated, OAG demanded that WIH return $59,678.08 in FY 2023 grant funding that had not been spent, and return $153,500.00 in FY 2022 grant funds for which documentation of spending had never been provided. WIH returned none of it.
OAG also alleges that Hardy violated DC law by failing to uphold her duty as a nonprofit officer by misappropriating funds, and by allowing WIH to lose its federal tax-exempt status and its DC nonprofit status. (The Internal Revenue Service revoked WIH's nonprofit status after the organization failed to file the required file Form 990-series return or notice for three consecutive years.) OAG also charges that WIH violated DC law by contracting with a WIH employee's separate company, in violation of its grant agreement and related regulations.
With this lawsuit, OAG is seeking to recover the funds improperly transferred to Hardy and recover the unspent grant funds that were not returned when the agreement was terminated.
A copy of OAG's complaint is available here (https://oag.dc.gov/sites/default/files/2025-06/WIH-Complaint-FINAL.pdf).
This matter is being handled by Assistant Attorneys General Leonor Miranda and Cara Spencer, supervised by Adam Gitlin, Chief of the Antitrust and Nonprofit Enforcement Section.
About the District's Nonprofit Corporation Act
Under the District's Nonprofit Corporation Act (NCA), the Attorney General has the authority to police nonprofit activities and ensure that nonprofit entities operating in DC spend their funds to serve their stated missions. Nonprofit organizations are set up to benefit the public, and nonprofit funds cannot be spent to benefit a private individual or company--especially an individual who has influence over the organization.
OAG's Nonprofit Enforcement Work
Since becoming an independently elected Attorney General's office, OAG has steadily expanded its capacity to enforce District laws governing nonprofits. Recently, OAG sued the former Treasurer of an elementary school's parent-teacher organization for misusing nonprofit funds and secured a settlement requiring her to return the misappropriated money. OAG also sued the former executive director of a local affordable housing nonprofit who diverted more than $1.25 million to pay himself unauthorized bonuses. Previously, the office secured a revised deal to sell the Providence Hospital campus for residential redevelopment that protected $5 million in healthcare resources for the District and ensured that the proceeds of the sale of property owned by an affordable-housing nonprofit would still be used to provide affordable housing in the District. OAG also resolved actions against the Coast Guard Auxiliary Association for improper payments to its Board President, and Delta Phi Epsilon, Inc. for using nonprofit funds for personal gain.
If you suspect that a nonprofit or officer of a nonprofit doing business in the District of Columbia is violating District law, please contact OAG at (202) 727-3400 or at nonprofit@dc.gov.
