A lack of adequate support for foster families, coupled with low rates of kinship placement with relatives, has led to much trauma and many placements for foster children.
State foster care agencies are intercepting federal benefits such as Social Security that are intended for foster children to reimburse themselves for the children’s care. Agencies often do this without notifying the children or their representatives.
There are 391,000 children in the foster care system in the U.S., and most experience various forms of instability that ultimately affect the quality and trajectory of their lives.
