Where You Live: A Guide to Sharing Foster Care Data
Foster Care in Your Community Foster care statistics can feel overwhelming — especially large, national numbers. Your community can’t care for nearly 330,000 kids.
But where you live, you can work with others to care for the much smaller number of children and families who are actually in your community. Wherever possible, county-level data is most effective at getting people engaged. Check the More Than Enough Dashboard or your child welfare agency’s website for your county’s data. If it isn’t available either place, you could reach out to contacts you might have at social services. Use these county-level numbers, if you can get them!
