State of Child Welfare report

Posted by on December 11, 2011

Today, Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children released its annual State of Child Welfare report, which shows some good news for Pennsylvania’s child welfare system. The state’s family-focused approach to foster care is helping to reduce the number of children placed in foster care and drive down the overall foster care population. We are seeing an increased use of in-home services and a growing trend toward family settings in foster care rather than congregate care – all positive signs for helping children.

Please visit Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children’s Porch Light Project website to view this state and county level report.
