County child welfare report highlights caseloads and foster care gaps
A county welfare audit shows intake workers handle 35 to 46 families each, overall caseloads 26 to 36 per worker, and 699 abuse reports with 155 substantiated. Five percent of closed protective cases reopen, and there are limited minority foster homes. The report notes lack of group homes for teens and ongoing custody challenges with unruly children, despite counseling and homemaker services.
