Description

Child welfare services are intended to prevent the abuse or neglect of children and to ensure that children have safe, permanent homes, in addition to promoting the well-being of children and their families.

Most federal child welfare programs are administered by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This new book provides an overview of the federal role in the assistance and improvement of child welfare services.

Discussed in this compilation are The Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008; Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for children in foster care; and the most recent and proposed federal funding for child welfare programs
