Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) and Senators Deb Fischer (R-NE) and John Hickenlooper (D-CO) reintroduced their bicameral, bipartisan bill, the Foster Care Stabilization Act (HR 7419/S. 3802). The bill intends to ensure children awaiting foster care placement have improved access to critical necessities. The bill would provide $3 million for demonstration grants to nonprofits to support staffing, supply foster youth with essential items such as clothing and food, fund abuse prevention, and response services, and deliver other emergency assistance aimed at improving safety and stability for foster youth.
