Iowa Admin. Code r. 641-87.1 - Purpose

This program shall be identified as healthy opportunities for parents to experience success-healthy families Iowa (HOPES-HFI). The HOPES-HFI program is intended to promote optimal child health and development; improve family coping skills and functioning; promote positive parenting skills and parent-child interaction; and prevent child abuse and neglect and infant mortality and morbidity. These rules outline the process by which the department manages HOPES-HFI funds.
