It is beyond sad to see this catastrophe looming closer and closer. Swift action is needed to prevent a devastating implosion of California’s Foster Care safety net.
California’s foster care system is facing an urgent crisis that could leave thousands of foster children without homes starting Sept. 30. A widespread insurance crisis is threatening 90% of foster family agencies (FFAs) across the state, putting the most vulnerable children at risk. Eileen Cubanski, Interim Executive Director of the County Welfare Directors Association of California (CWDA), emphasized the severity of the situation: “We’ve got a looming crisis here. If we can’t support FFAs in the short run, we’ve got to figure out a longer-term solution.” These agencies are vital to the well-being of foster children, providing them with safe and supportive homes. Without immediate intervention, these children and the families who care for them will be left without critical support. We must act now to protect foster children and the agencies that serve them. Our children deserve stability, care, and a brighter future. Read more about this developing story in The Sacramento Bee to learn how you can help. https://lnkd.in/gupA7Wwe
