The Children’s Bureau (CB) might have some idea how many states are thinking about seeking a delay on implementation of the Family First Prevention Services Act. But it’s not telling.
Mum’s the word, for whatever reason, about what news came in by the November 9 deadline the agency imposed on states to notify CB about whether they intended to seek a delay on implementing the law. Family First passed this year and will increase federal resources for preventing the use of foster care while limiting federal funds for group homes and other “congregate care” settings. CB is the agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that will most directly deal with its implementation.
