Child Welfare Financing Playbook: Unlocking the Potential of Available Funds to Strengthen Family Well-Being Systems

Navigating child welfare financing is no small task. Unlike other service systems that rely on a single dominant payer, child welfare depends on a web of federal, state, and local funding streams — each with its own rules, requirements, and allowable services. Without coordination, critical dollars are left on the table.
 
The Child Welfare Financing Playbook gives state and local leaders a clear roadmap to:
  • Understand the range of available federal, state, and local funding streams

  • Spot the gaps and overlaps that create barriers to access

  • Uncover overlooked opportunities to maximize funding

  • Build strategies that strengthen family well-being systems for the long term

Whether you’re a state agency, local jurisdiction, or provider, this playbook is designed to help you move beyond the maze and put funding to work where it matters most.
