Technical Bulletin (TB) #14 is now available. The changes outlined in this TB aim to maintain state accountability for achieving meaningful outcomes for children and families, enhance transparency and public accountability, reduce administrative burden, and provide states with greater flexibility to innovate and build capacity to manage and improve child welfare systems and outcomes, centered around the goal of A Home for Every Child.
A Home for Every Child
To advance the Make America Healthy Again agenda at ACF, the ACF Children’s Bureau (CB) has sharpened the child welfare focus on a simple goal—to have homes waiting on kids, not kids waiting on homes. ACF’s new A Home for Every Child initiative will allow CB and jurisdictions to prioritize matters that safely decrease the number of children entering foster care through effective prevention, while also increasing the number of foster homes through diligent recruitment, prioritizing kin, and improving retention of existing caregivers. More information on the initiative can be found here: https://acf.gov/a-home-for-every-child
The ACF Webinar: A Home for Every Child Initiative and CFSR Technical Bulletin #14 recording and slides are now available.
