Why Local Foster Care Data Matters

Understanding foster care at the local level helps churches, nonprofits, and community leaders respond effectively. When communities can see how many children are in care, how many families are licensed to foster, and what gaps remain, they can take targeted action. The goal of More Than Enough is to ensure every child in foster care has more than enough loving families and support in their community.
