The Uhlich Children's Advantage Network is projecting a $3.1 million increase in total revenue for FY2008 compared to FY2007 forecasts. Major drivers include rate increases and expanded census for residential, transitional teen, and foster parenting programs. Expenses are projected to decrease by $297,000 due to reductions for CHA housing, residential, and teen parenting programs, offset by increases for transitional teen and foster parenting programs. Other income sources like foundation grants and investments are expected to remain stable. Key risks to the budget include missing census targets and reductions in state funding.
