From The Sheriff of Nottingham BlogSpot:
The Sheriff has learned that Chairman Stewart gave permission to Youth for Tomorrow, a taxpayer-funded non-profit serving at-risk youth in Prince William County, to open their doors to house children for Homeland Security that have been flown to Prince William County from Texas and other areas on the southern border.
This statement is an outright lie. It is not up to Corey Stewart to give permission or not give permission to Youth for Tomorrow. YFT is a private organization. YFT is also not a tax-payer funded organization. Does it get a grant like many other organizations in the county? Probably. So do lots of agencies and clubs that meet the criteria. However, most of the county money received by YFT is for services rendered.
One such example of these services would be if a child needed residential placement because Prince William County Schools could not provide the appropriate educational setting for this child. PWCS would pay the residential /educational fee to YFT, the same as it would pay to any other 24 hour facility. The court system, in conjunction with social services, might also place a child in the YFT setting. Either the state or the county would pay for those services. That to me, is not “tax-payer funded.
