You Should Understand How We Pay for Child Welfare Services [ChildTrends.org]

For nearly a decade, Child Trends has been tracking how states fund child welfare activities. I love talking about child welfare funding, but I’ve noticed others’ eyes glaze over when I announce, for example, that states spent over $28.2 billion on child welfare activities in state fiscal year 2012 (the latest data available). Numbers are so abstract.

Those funds meant something major, though, to the 678,932 children who were victims of maltreatment in federal fiscal year 2013.
