Programs Aim At Keeping Kids In Stable Homes

Programs Aim At Keeping Kids In Stable Homes · OPB News

Kids in Oregon are twice as likely as children nationwide to be placed in foster care. And child advocates say that's a problem.

Mainly because national statistics on the success of foster kids aren't good -- a quarter have been homeless at least once by age 23, and almost half have been on food stamps by the same age.
In fact, the feds are pushing states to reduce their reliance on foster care.
