It's encouraging to see the Trump Administration continue to take this issue seriously and ensure that faith-based foster care services, like Miracle Hill, can continue their amazing work in our communities. The decision by HHS will further protect religious liberty and the children and families that rely on these critical services in the Upstate and around the country. Background: You can read the HHS proposed rule HERE. You can read Congressman Duncan's statement from January 2019 on the Trump Administration granting a waiver to Miracle Hill HERE. You can read the letter from Members of Congress to President Trump expressing concern on the assault on religious liberty of faith-based foster care services HERE. Congressman Duncan and his staff have been in communication with The White House, HHS, and Miracle Hill to help resolve this issue. Congressman Duncan has been a cosponsor of the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act led by Congressman Mike Kelly in the 114th Congress and 115th Congress. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
