A Home for Every Child: Aligning Policy Practice and Data

Child welfare is at an important crossroads. New federal efforts like A Home for Every Child, updated CFSRs, and emerging performance dashboards signal a shift in direction—one that raises new questions about how systems can better support children, families, and the workforce. At the center of the conversation is a shared goal: helping every child grow up in a safe, stable home. In A Home for Every Child: Aligning Policy, Practice, and Data, leaders from across the child welfare ecosystem will discuss what this evolving landscape means in practice. While initiatives like this offer new opportunities, they also highlight ongoing challenges—from prevention and early support, to finding the right placement match, to strengthening the pool of family-based care options. Join national partners and industry experts for a thoughtful, solutions-focused conversation about what’s working, what’s still needed, and how policy, practice, and technology can work together to support better outcomes for children and families.
