Iowa REACH

About Iowa REACH

The Iowa REACH Initiative Implementation Team will coordinate and oversee the court-approved agreement in C.A. v. Garcia (Case No. 4:23-cv-00009-SHL-HCA). The Consumer Steering Committee and subcommittees will guide key components of the initiative to ensure progress on its commitments.

Guideline Principles

The Implementation Team, Consumer Steering Committee, and Subcommittees will align their work with the child and family-centered values in the Interim Settlement Agreement:

  • Child-Centered and Family-Driven: Involves families at every stage, from planning to evaluation.
  • Team-Based and Collaborative: Services are delivered through coordinated, multi-agency teams.
  • Natural Supports: Builds on the strengths of youth and family networks.
  • Home and Community-Based: Prioritizes inclusive, responsive, and least restrictive settings.
  • Individualized and Culturally Relevant: Tailors supports to the strengths and unique needs of each family.
  • Outcome-Focused with Unconditional Care: Ensures flexible, goal-driven support for sustained success.
