Iowa HF298 allows courts to place children in supervised apartment living arrangements as part of a consent decree if specific conditions are met.

Iowa HF298 amends state law to permit courts to place children in supervised apartment living arrangements as part of a consent decree if the child has lived in a qualified residential treatment program, a shelter, or a combination of both for at least six months and lacks family support for independent living. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will pay for these placements if they meet HHS-established requirements.
