Director reports WHEAP funding released; staff mobilized for emergency shelter during holiday outages
Summary
Director Cally Bucknell told the board WHEAP funding has been released and commended staff for activating emergency shelter coverage during Thanksgiving power outages; she also noted a new worker had started in CCS/CSP/CLTS.
Director Cally Bucknell updated the Human Services Board on agency operations, reporting that "WHEAP funding has been released." She noted a new CCS/CSP/CLTS worker started last week and that federal freezing of childcare funds to some states is not expected to affect Wisconsin, though the department is monitoring the situation.
Bucknell also said staff were activated for emergency shelter coverage during Thanksgiving outages and thanked employees for "stepping up to the plate so quickly, even during a holiday." The updates were offered as informational items without motions attached, and board members did not request immediate follow-up actions beyond continued monitoring.
