Show Notes
New Mexicos Children Youth and Families Department successfully removed all children from overnight stays in its offices, meeting Governor Michelle Lujan Grishams January deadline. The last child left on February twelfth, more than two weeks ahead of schedule. This move addressed long-standing issues with office housing, driven by shortages in foster families and reports of harm to children in those settings. Officials praised staff and partners for stepping up with new placements, while some lawmakers raised concerns about the speed. As of Tuesday, thirty-one children remain in custody, with efforts ongoing to boost foster recruitment and expand capacity for better long-term care.
