Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 27th of October.
Good morning, Iowa City.
🏘️ Community
Iowa has seen a steady drop in children in the foster system from 10,400 in 2013 to 6,586 in 2022, yet the need for foster families remains high.
Four Oaks Family and Children Services credits the Family First Prevention Services Act—supporting relatives to care for children—with increased interest in fostering.
💼 Business
Businesses in Iowa are getting ready for fewer immigrant workers as federal rules change and reduce work permits and visa programs.
Local leaders say the new rules will cause labor shortages in factories and hotels — and they are asking lawmakers to reform the policies.
