Foster care and homelessness: The reality of Lawell “Elf” Brooks
In the state of Florida last year, an average of 34,934 children per month were in DCF’s custody. According to the Urban Institute, nationwide over 800,000 children are in state custody on any given day. A state provides Out of Home Care for a minor when a parent or parents are deemed to be incapable of providing adequate social, emotional or physical care for their children. Unfortunately, the care children receive in state custody is not always enough.
