Expanded Technical Support for New York Counties
RHF announces a new partnership with Jim Czarniak to support New York counties to achieve their Family First Readiness goals and system efficiencies amid the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic. Formerly the deputy commissioner for child welfare in Onondaga County, Jim led a system-wide effort in that county to re-align its foster care system to prioritize family-based care, especially kinship families, and reduce the county’s reliance on congregate care placements.
