Where is the Funding From?
California Department of Social Services (CDSS) released a State Block Grant (SBG) available to Counties, to support prevention and early intervention, with a goal of keeping families together. CDSS specifically identified goals of reducing incidences of abuse and neglect, decreasing entries into foster care, improving economic and other concrete resources for families, with the intention of prioritizing services that focus on racial equity and reducing disproportionate entries of Black and American Indian/Alaska Native families into the foster care system.
