Nebraska is taking an important step toward helping children and families get the right support at the right time. π
Nebraska DHHS has been selected for a federal grant that will explore how data can help:
*Identify risks and family needs earlier
*Connect families with preventive services
*Safely prevent unnecessary foster care placements
*Give child welfare professionals better information for decision-making
*Help children reach safe, permanent homes sooner
At CASA, we know that behind every piece of data is a child with a story, a family, and a future. We are encouraged by efforts that help Nebraska make more informed decisions while keeping child safety, well-being, permanency, transparency, and accountability at the center.
Because every child deserves the opportunity to be safe, supported, and in a permanent home. π
