Connecticut Lawmakers Propose Major DCF Reform Bill: House Bill 5004 aims to address gaps in child welfare services following the tragic death of an eleven-year-old girl and a state audit revealing missing children. The bill focuses on prevention, boosting family placements, stabilizing caregivers, and adding transparency. Key changes include grants for caregivers immediate needs, a new urgent crisis center, and required training on postpartum mental health, human trafficking, and cultural diversity. The bill also mandates DCF to track youth reported out of state for over fourteen days with welfare checks.
