Maximizing “Fostering Connections” to Benefit Pennsylvania Youth

Posted by on February 19, 2012

Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, in cooperation with the Juvenile Law Center, is pleased to release a new report, Maximizing “Fostering Connections” to Benefit Pennsylvania Youth, which details the benefits Pennsylvania can achieve by fully implementing the federal Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008. Governor Tom Corbett’s proposed budget for fiscal 2012-13 calls for implementing the federal law as a way to maximize new federal revenues that will lead to improved outcomes for youth in foster care and yield our state and counties millions in savings. PPC supports this proposal, and our latest report underscores the benefits it will have on Pennsylvania’s foster youth and taxpayers.
