This paper published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation helps child welfare directors and fiscal managers be more strategic in planning their approach to child welfare spending and reimbursement.  The paper outlines specific steps states, localities, and tribes can take to support vulnerable children and families by drawing down federal funding, including funds made possible by the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008.
