The budget looks to strengthen various support services for children, families and the overall community by funding programs such as a detailed child tax credit, a $9.2 million increase for child advocacy centers and $2 million for runaway and homeless youth programs.
Free community college for adults ranging from 25 to 55 pursuing careers in education, health care and other high-demand fields were also identified.

State officials say funding like this is important for local groups, and that more may be needed because of changes being made in Washington.
