The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA)


This act provides evidence-based prevention services to families at risk of entering the child welfare system. The act also restructured federal financing streams to ensure that when foster care is needed, children are placed in the least restrictive, and most family-like setting possible. As a result of this act, there is a high demand for Foster Care Agencies and Specialized Group Homes.
