Why we should do everything possible to avoid foster care and keep kids with their families
Why we should do everything possible to avoid foster care and keep kids with their families | Dallas Morning News:
A bill before Congress would turn those priorities around, helping parents who are in treatment to become clean, sober, and better parents, so they can keep their kids. The Family First Prevention Services Act has passed out of the House but hit opposition in the Senate from Texas group home providers who want to protect the status quo. The legislation increases standards for residential care so kids aren't warehoused in group homes without getting the care they need.

Calling all foster care advocates!
We need your help to ensure Congress passes the Family First Prevention Services Act, a major bipartisan bill that would strengthen the child welfare system! The House passed the bill in June, and the Senate urgently needs to pass the Family First Prevention Services Act THIS WEEK if it is to become law this year.
It is critical that Senators hear from as many constituents as possible…. Please contact them tomorrow and ask them to support the Family First Act!
