The CHC Mission:
Break the chain of Loss
Human Services agencies are historically under-resourced and establishing goals without prior research, choosing faulty objectives and insufficient implementation lead to unforced errors with a COST. States and counties lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in failed initiatives and, on the human side, children remain relegated to out-of-home care for years, leaving families that are able to reunify, separate and apart.
Those that lose the most—children—pay the price in ways most destructive of all. Children in foster care have lower educational achievement, less ability to trust and form lasting, bonded relationships and have subsequently higher representation in both the criminal justice and homeless populations.
