Celebrating Major Foster Care Reform

When the Family First legislation was quietly signed into law in February, it was the culmination of years of lobbying by experts in the foster care field, including CV’s President and CEO, Jeremy Kohomban, whom the Chronicle of Social Media described as being a “key player behind Washington’s biggest foster care reform in decades.” The legislation changes how foster care is funded, allocating money first to interventions like substance abuse, mental health, and parenting education services in the hope they will keep the highest-risk families together.
