ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Child Welfare Fund is increasing
its focus in preventing foster care placement and assisting children
and families when a child returns home from foster care or lives
independently after foster care. Projects in these areas might include:
Prevention of foster care: school-based
preventative services, entitlements to families, evaluating the
performance of preventive service programs, or evidence-based interventions.
Aftercare services: expanding funding,
and providing services for families when children are reunited after
foster care; employment programs and mental health services for
young people in foster care; and assisting high risk groups in and
after foster care.
ADDITIONAL
FUNDING FOCUS
The Child Welfare Fund is interested in supporting projects to implement
the recommendations in the Child Welfare Watch. For application
