More Wisconsin child advocacy centers get grants
Wisconsin’s Department of Justice provides yearly grants from state funding to support teams responding to suspected child maltreatment. The law updates recipient names and locations: Milwaukee Child Advocacy Center in Milwaukee County; Kenosha County Child Advocacy Center; Fox Valley Child Advocacy Center in Outagamie County; Child Advocacy Center of North Central Wisconsin in Marathon County; Chippewa Valley Child Advocacy Center in Eau Claire County; Willow Tree Cornerstone Child Advocacy Center in Brown County; and the Racine County, Walworth County, and Green County Child Advocacy Centers. It adds Lakeshore Regional Child Advocacy Center in Sheboygan County and Child Advocacy Centers of Wisconsin as grant recipients. The grants replace the prior $17,000 annual payment for education, training, medical advice, and quality assurance activities. The law does not set a grant amount for each recipient.
