Every Kid Needs A Family: Giving Children in the Child Welfare System the Best Chance for Success

Abstract

This KIDS COUNT policy report underscores a simple fact about childhood: Family matters. Yet, today in America, 57,000 children are still living in group placements. Readers will learn about limiting the role of residential treatment care to its intended purpose and how state and local leaders can work together to enhance family-oriented services and supports. The end goal? Brighter futures -- and loving families -- for some of our country's most vulnerable children
