Prioritize Children and Families through Title IV-B
The bipartisan Protecting America’s Children by Strengthening Families Act (H.R. 9076) was just passed in the House with a vote of 405 (yays) to 10 (nays). This legislation will reform and reauthorize the Title IV-B child welfare program for five years. The program is tasked with helping to prevent child abuse and neglect, keeping families together, and ensuring children are not separated from their parents solely because of poverty, among other reforms.
Title IV-B of the Social Security Act is a key child welfare program that provides federal resources to states, tribes, and territories for family preservation and to promote the safety, permanence, and well-being of children in foster care.
I encourage you to support and prioritize this critical piece of legislation and reauthorize Title IV-B. Families need resources and support before they are in crisis so they never have to come into the child welfare system in the first place.
Thank you for all you do to support children and their families!
