Non-Resident Fathers Project Selects Four National Sites for Funding to Increase Father Involvement and Improve Outcomes in Child Welfare
Date:2/26/2008

ll Industries, Community Partnership for Child Development, and the Center for Policy Research in Denver.

-- Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (Tarrant County, Texas - Fort Worth) in collaboration with members of the Tarrant County Fatherhood Coalition, New Day Services for Children and Families, Tarrant County Workforce Development Board (Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County), Foundation Communities, Tarrant County Safety Net, and The Urban Institute of Washington, D.C.

It is funded by the Children's Bureau, which is part of the Administration for Children & Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Both the CFSRs on state child-welfare systems and the What About the Dads? report indicate there is very little meaningful engagement occurring between the child-welfare system and fathers. Using this information as a foundation, the QIC-NRF was designed to promote additional knowledge development regarding the engagement of non-resident fathers and their children who are involved in the child welfare system, with the purpose improving child-welfare outcomes that include safety, permanence and well-being. Throughout the five years of the project, information gained will be disseminated broadly to child welfare agencies, private service providers, the courts and legal systems, and other stakeholders.

The project has completed Phase I, consisting of a needs assessment and gap analysis. The QIC-NRF explored father involvement from three perspectives: social work/child welfare, the courts, and private provider practice, with special attention to cross-system iss
