California Alliance Applauds Governor's Support of Group Home Reform for Foster Youth

Youth currently in group home care often experience multiple placements resulting in a lack of consistent connections with family, schools, and communities.

The enrolled legislation marks a victory for the coalition of committed stakeholders and advocates working with the California Department of Social Services since 2004 to reassess the roles of group homes for children and youth. The diverse workgroup included family members, emancipated foster youth, child and family advocates, policymakers, researchers, care provider representatives, and county and state public officials from law enforcement, social service, child welfare, mental health, and education agencies and departments. Their efforts resulted in the development a framework for transforming the current system of foster care group homes into a system of child-cent
