Improving Foster Care: Congress Urged to Support Vulnerable Children and Families

The US Senate urges Congress to implement new policies aimed at improving the lives of the nearly 400,000 children in the foster care system. The resolution highlights the need for increased support for foster and relative caregivers and greater investment in prevention services to reduce the number of children entering the system. The goal is to ensure every child finds a safe, loving, and permanent home and to facilitate successful transitions for youth aging out of care.
Key points
Increased focus on prevention and family reunification services to reduce the number of children entering or re-entering foster care.
Support for youth aging out of the system (over 19,000 annually) to help them secure housing, health insurance, and education.
Recognition and encouragement for greater financial and service support for foster parents and relative caregivers.
