All young people should have services and supports that are racially equitable and free of structural racism

To provide ready access to services and supports that are racially equitable and free of structural racism, policymakers should:

• Utilize individualized assessments that are free of bias and provided by culturally competent staff.
• Ensure that the services provided are equally accessible to all young people in foster care, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
• Collect and analyze outcome and administrative data to identify and address racial disproportionality and disparate outcomes for children and youth of color.
