| مستخلص: | This report presents proposals for cost effective strategies in the State of Illinois to help more children become healthy, well educated, and responsible citizens. The proposals are discussed in terms of the problem and the recommended actions in the areas of health, early childhood, education, poverty and economic opportunity, family stability, juvenile justice, and housing. They are divided into two sections: (1) a good start for babies and young children; and (2) a fair chance for families. The first section highlights preventive strategies and suggests proposals for medical insurance for uninsured pregnant women to reduce the need for neonatal intensive care, prenatal care to reduce childhood disabilities and infant death, decent preschools to help disadvantaged children reach first grade on a par with their peers, and adequate funding for Illinois schools. The second section includes recommendations for an economic strategy in addition to tax credit and welfare grant proposals. It also proposes a state housing trust fund of leveraged private dollars that would encourage the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing. (RJC) |
