This grant is for developing and implementing comprehensive, multi-faceted programs to diligently recruit diverse resource families, including kinship, foster, concurrent, and adoptive families, for children and youth in the foster care system. Projects should integrate these recruitment efforts into existing child welfare plans, such as the Child and Family Service Plan, and foster/permanency planning processes. The aim is to transform the system’s response to permanency and connection-building for children. Awarded programs will also evaluate their implementation to document processes and outcomes, serving as replicable models for other states and locales seeking to enhance their diligent recruitment methods and improve permanency outcomes for children in foster care.
