This Department of Child Welfare grant is offering Family Connection Grants to support demonstration projects focused on preventing children from entering foster care. The grant aims to reduce the duration of involvement for children and families within the child welfare system by implementing family group decision-making as a core service approach. Projects funded through this initiative will actively engage families in building essential protective factors and mitigating existing risk factors. Furthermore, this grant is for addressing interconnected challenges such as domestic violence, mental health issues, and substance abuse, all through the lens of family-centered decision-making to ensure comprehensive support and improved outcomes for children and families.
