The Quad County Decategorization Project is the focal point for the development, implementation and monitoring of many strategic community plans and takes a leadership role in planning initiatives. The mission of the Quad County Decategorization Project is to provide effective programming that will deter children and youth ages birth to 21 from entering the child welfare and/or juvenile justice system or provide a safe exit for children and youth already in either system by partnering health, education and welfare resources for the betterment of children and families. This is accomplished by facilitating planning for needed community services that affect youth who are at risk of entering the child welfare and/or juvenile justice system. The Quad County Decat was formed from the merger of two former Decat Projects, a number of years ago. Des Moines, Henry, Lee, and Louisa Counties make up the Decat Board’s area of purview.
