State officials have announced additional funding will be provided to Indiana Adult Protective Services (APS), the system responsible for protecting Indiana's most vulnerable adults. Earlier this year, an investigation found that APS is underfunded and that existing funding mechanisms do not allow for sufficient staffing to handle the roughly 40,000 calls it receives each year.
