Foster Care & Extended Foster Care, In the News
Carole Shauffer Quoted in Article Re Lack of Foster Homes
The Connecticut Mirror printed an article today about a new report by the Connecticut Voices for Children. The report says that hundreds of foster children continue to be placed into costly congregate homes instead of family settings because of a lack in foster homes. Carole Shauffer is quoted as saying that other states, including Maryland, Florida, Nevada and Michigan, by law prohibit placing children in congregate care or strictly limit its use.
