Foster Youth
Cuts to Foster Care Funding will Jeopardize Children Living with Relatives (updated) by Casey Trupin and Vicki Turetsky – CLASP. Congress is working to reconcile House and Senate versions of the FY 2006 federal budget. The House reconciliation bill includes provisions to decrease federally funded foster care services by $577 million over five years and $1.3 billion over ten years. This brief examines the provisions, which, if implemented, would discourage the placement of abused and neglected children with grandparents and other relatives, impede efforts to reunify children with their parents, and make it more difficult to provide critical services to children and families. Originally published on November 9, the document was updated in December 2005. Pub No. 05-48. 5 pages. 12/5/2005
