Staff Summary

                     Established in 1987, the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center (LCCAC) is where children are brought for a forensic interview when there has been an allegation of sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, or a child has been a witness to a major crime. The LCCAC is a child-focused center, and a committed multidisciplinary team (MDT) is the foundation of the work.

                     This is an application for the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2025 Capital Bill Grant from House Bill SB0251 through the State of Illinois General Revenue Fund to the Department of Public Health.

                     The LCCAC will use the $1,000,000 towards medical services to be performed at the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center in partnership with Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS) to serve approximately 600 children per year.

                     The source of program funding is 100 percent state funding; no match is required.
