[Intro to Child-Welfare-Funding / Elizabeth Jordan, J.D. Dana Dean Connelly, Ph.D.]
[Child welfare agencies in the United States are charged with ensuring the safety, permanency, and well-being of children who have been abused or neglected, and those who are at risk of abuse or neglect.
How child welfare agencies pay for those services varies, too. In state fiscal year(SFY) 2012, the year for which the most recent funding information is available, states spent more than $28.2 billion, from federal, state, and local sources, on child welfare activities. Of that amount, about $12.7 billion were federal funds, and of those federal funds, nearly $6.5 billion were from Title IV-E.1 Title IV-E of the Social Security Act is the largest federal funding stream for child welfare activities. States can apply for Title IV-E waivers, which allow them to use IV-E funds more flexibly
