Show Notes
Marylands foster care system receives a significant funding boost, with approval for nearly $900 million to create more placements and improve care for children with complex needs. This comes after years of challenges, including the tragic suicide of a teenager last year. The new funding will add 637 new spots, ban unlicensed placements, and provide more treatment foster care and group home beds. Additionally, $115.6 million will be allocated for one-on-one support workers with standardized training. While progress is evident, experts emphasize the need for better long-term planning to meet rising demands.
