Kansas task force hears of children sleeping in office tents
The state Child Welfare System Task Force heard from KYC Kansas and Saint Francis Community Services about dozens of foster care children who slept in offices in the past year due to a shortage of foster homes and psychiatric beds. Officials noted 31 children spent nights in St. Francis offices in April and more than 60 overnight stays in KVC offices in the last 12 months, with 14 waiting for psychiatric residential treatment space. The panel discussed recruitment challenges for foster parents and broader policy changes, with plans for ongoing meetings through 2018 and a final report in January 2019.
