The White House (WH) has issued an executive order (EO) titled Fostering the Future for American Children and Families. The EO directs federal agencies to modernize the child welfare system and expand support for young people in or leaving foster care. It tasks the Department of Health and Human Services with improving state-level data collection; updating outdated reporting requirements; advancing the use of modern technology and analytics in foster care management; and publishing annual scorecards measuring state performance on key child welfare outcomes. It also launches a “Fostering the Future” initiative to build public–private partnerships that expand education, employment, and support services for current and former foster youth, including the creation of an online platform, greater flexibility in education vouchers, and better use of returned federal funds. Additionally, the order calls for increasing collaboration with faith-based organizations and ensuring they are not improperly excluded from child-welfare programs. All actions must follow existing law and are subject to available funding.
