Introduction
The Washoe County Department of Social Services aims to reduce the number of children in long-term foster care by implementing an intervention approach, SAFE-FC, to keep children safe, prevent them from coming into care, and to improve permanency outcomes for subgroups of children who have the most serious barriers to permanency.
