The University of Kansas, in partnership with the Kansas Department for Children and Families and two private providers that comprise Kansas' statewide foster care network, is working to accelerate stable permanency for families of children with serious emotional disturbance (SED) by delivering intensive, home-based parent training and support services shortly after children are removed from their homes.

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.

The Kansas Intensive Permanency Project (KIPP) is part of the Permanency Innovations Initiative (PII) cross-site and site-specific evaluation. The overview describes the evaluation stages and design to answer questions about the effectiveness of the intervention.
