Info

Los Angeles County Self-Assessment Report 2007 through December 31, 2007, there were 2,566 (63.8%) children initially placed in non-relative placements. Of these 2,566 children, 48% were placed outside of their community. In order to improve placement proximity to children’s community of origin, there is a great need to recruit resource parents within SPAs 4, 5, and 6 - the greatest areas of need since these are the communities from which the greatest numbers of children are removed. Additional resources are needed in order to carry out recruitment activities in such large geographic areas. Resource Families continue to request additional supports to help them provide ongoing care for special needs children, such as respite care, additional training, crisis intervention resources, and greater responsiveness from the child’s social worker when they are in need of help. Budget constraints have further caused challenges in providing adequate funding to support, recruit and retain foster, adoptive, and relative caregivers. 134
