Board approves Human Services emergency-assistance policy and guardianship contract
Summary
Le Sueur County approved a clarification to its Emergency Assistance programs that separates EA for families/pregnant women from EGA for adults, and approved a professional services contract with Presbyterian Family Foundation for guardianship services covering April–December 2026.
Jamie Hayes, Le Sueur County director of Human Services, presented department updates and two items that the board approved March 17.
The board approved a consolidated Emergency Assistance Programs policy clarifying that the Consolidated Grant Fund (EA) will be used for families with a minor child or a pregnant woman, while Emergency General Assistance (EGA) will be used for adults or married couples without children (motion: Rohlfing moved; King seconded). The board also approved a professional services contract with Presbyterian Family Foundation of Willmar to provide guardianship and conservatorship services for indigent wards from April 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 (motion: Tietz moved; Preisler seconded).
