Shortening journeys to strengthen families

Our Mission & Vision

Foster care cases in Mecklenburg county are languishing.

4 of 5 kids in Mecklenburg county foster care do not have a  permanent placement after 1 year.  Over half of kids are still in custody after 1.5 years.

​

The NC Child Welfare manual states "County child welfare agencies must make concerted efforts to achieve permanence for the child in a timely manner. The following timeframes must be met for the corresponding permanent plans:

  • Reunification - 12 months

  • Guardianship/Custody - 18 months

  • Adoption - 24 months"

We seek to strengthen families by supporting the Mecklenburg County foster care system in achieving permanency for every child with great care and efficiency.

Path to Permanency
