OP-ED FROM JCCA CEO RONALD E. RICHTER IN THE CHRONICLE OF SOCIAL CHANGE
How New York City Can Help Foster Youth Build a Brighter Future
JCCA CEO Ronald E. Richter writes, “New York City has been an innovator in child welfare so many times. We have led the nation in the reduction of congregate care for young people who require out-of-home services. We were among the first in the nation to support families in communities by offering community-based services to prevent the need to remove children because of a safety risk. Now is the time for New York City, with Fair Futures, to distinguish itself once more.”
