Child welfare services are intended to prevent the abuse or neglect
of children; ensure that children have safe, permanent homes; and
promote the well-being of children and their families. As the U.S.
Constitution has been interpreted, states bear the primary
responsibility for ensuring the welfare of children and their
families. At the state level, the child welfare "system" consists
of public child protection and child welfare workers, private child
welfare and social service workers, state and local judges,
prosecutors, and law enforcement personnel. These representatives
of various state and local entities assume interrelated roles while
carrying out child welfare activities, including investigating
allegations of child abuse and neglect; providing services to
families to ensure children's safety in the home; removing children
from their homes when that is necessary for their safety;
supervising and administering payments for children placed in
foster care; ensuring regular case review and permanency planning
for children in foster care; helping children leave foster care to
permanent families via reunification with parents or, when that is
not possible, via adoption or legal guardianship; offering
post-permanency services and supports; and helping older children
in foster care, and youth who leave care without placement in a
permanent family, to transition successfully to adulthood. This
book begins with a review of federal appropriations activity in
FY2015 as it relates to child welfare programs, including the
effect of the automatic spending cuts, known as sequestration. The
book provides a short description of each federal child welfare
program, including its purpose and recent funding levels. In
addition, funds appropriated for the PSSF program support grants to
state or tribal highest courts under the Court Improvement Program;
grants to regional partnerships to improve the outcomes of children

parents' substance abuse; grants to states and territories for
monthly caseworker visits of children in foster care; and
program-related research, evaluation, training, or technical
assistance are also discussed in this book.
