DHHS fails to comply with legal mandates for kinship placement

“The number of children in State care is nearly half of what it was seven and a half years ago. We are focused on family reunification,” said James Beougher, director of the Office of Child and Family Services at Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) on MPBN’s Maine Watch.
