BACKGROUND
Background
Casey Family Program is a nationally accredited Washington nonprofit corporation whose mission is to provide, improve and ultimately prevent the need for foster care. CFP engages states, counties and tribes in child welfare collaborations to: (1) safely reduce the number of youth in foster care in this country; (2) support more effective reinvestments in children and families; (3) demonstrate how every child can have a safe and permanent family; and (4) encourage a shared vision to improve the long-term safety and success of children and families.
Casey Family Program (CFP) and the Guilford County Department of Health and Human Services-Social Services Division (DHS-SSD) desire to work together under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to advance their mutual goal of improving outcomes for youth and families who experience the foster care system. This work will also inform and advance CFP’s 2020 Goals, which involve collaboration with public, business, nonprofit, philanthropic, and community sectors to create supportive communities that keep children safe and help families thrive. CFP provides its technical expertise, resources, and ongoing strategic consulting at no cost to DHS-SSD.
