County children's panel reports decline in foster agency recruitment
Commission committee says foster family agencies are increasingly left placing youth with complex needs as recruitment falls.
A committee of the county's Commission for Children and Families reports that private foster family agencies are recruiting fewer resource families while the county recruits more, leaving agencies to place children with complex needs. The committee plans to meet with the Department of Children and Family Services about recruitment and placement matching.
