Congressman McDermott Introduces a Bill to Strengthen the Foster Care System
Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) introduced a bill to improve our existing child welfare system to better care for our nation’s most vulnerable children. The Invest in KIDS Act (H.R. 5466) will improve our child welfare system by enhancing states’ capacity to secure safe, stable, and permanent homes for all foster children. The Act also invests in families, guarantees federal coverage for all children in need, supports a qualified workforce, ensures continuity in care for teens aging out of the child welfare system, and improves connections to health care, schools and families.
