Landmark Child Welfare Initiative Enhances Support and Equity in the Child Welfare System
October 11, 2023 by Vibrant Emotional Health Public Policy & Government Affairs

Under the purview of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the Biden-Harris administration has introduced three groundbreaking rules that will significantly impact child welfare across America. These rules are designed to bolster support for kinship caregivers, safeguard the well-being of LGBTQI+ children in foster care, and expand access to legal representation for children and families navigating the child welfare system. Collectively, these initiatives are poised to reinforce the core mission of child welfare agencies: prioritizing the well-being of children.

These rules not only fulfill executive orders issued by President Biden but also align closely with the administration's broader objectives, which include keeping families together and promoting equity within the child welfare system. Together, these regulations signify one of the most substantial leaps forward in child welfare seen in a generation.
