The Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care Recommendations: Financing and Reinvestment of Savings

The Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care Recommendations: Financing and Reinvestment of Savings

Through flexibility and reinvestment, financing can be aligned with the goals that are to be achieved for each child served by child welfare systems: safety, permanence, and well-being.
