Graph - Meck Time to Permanency_edited_e

Foster care cases in Mecklenburg are languishing

We are on a mission to change that.

​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

Mecklenburg County Statistics

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