Indiana Tries To Keep Foster Children In Their Homes Longer

Indiana Tries To Keep Foster Children In Their Homes Longer | News - Indiana Public Media:

A new program from the Department of Child Services is trying to keep children in their own homes for longer before being transferred to foster care.

As an alternative to the budget cuts, the Indiana Department of Child Services has established a new initiative called Safely Home-Families First. The program keeps children in their own home as long as possible and moves them to foster care only as a last resort.
