State grant increased for home visits for at-risk kids in DeKalb

DeKalb County recently received a bonus to its state grant that will pay for experts to visit the homes of at-risk children.

The $75,000 grant from the Governor’s Office for Children and Families is in addition to an earlier award of $300,000. The money adds at least 75 families to the state’s Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting program.
