Statement From Carroll Schroeder, Executive Director for the California Alliance of Child and Family Services, on California's 2008-2009 Final Budget:
Date:9/25/2008

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- "This week both state and national policymakers recognized their responsibility to foster children and youth. First, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a budget which left intact funding for child welfare, foster care, and mental health for California's most vulnerable children and families.

Implementing SB 1380 will ensure that fewer children with exceptional needs will require costly group home care and that more of these children will be cared for and receive services in a family setting. As a result, they will be less likely to bounce from placement to placement and will be more likely to exit foster care to a permanent family and home. For children needing group home care, this bill will ensure those programs continue to have the flexibility they need to provide care and services to foster children in a seriously under
