Overview

Mission

To deliver child welfare services in a culturally competent manner that respects and embraces the demographic diversity within the milwaukee community. We are committed to serve families in a way that protects children, enhances parental capacities and works toward stabilization and work toward permanency of children and families.

What it reported doing in 2013

The ongoing case management program provides case management services which focus on maintaining child safety while children are placed in out-of-home care and following reunification with birth parents along with achieving permanency for children in the most expeditious manner possible. Case managers continuously assess for safety at each home visit through active communication with all caregivers within the home. Along with assessing for safety, case managers conduct parental protective capacity assessment, develop service plans, refer families to formal and informal supports, monitor parental progress and prepare and participate in legal processes such as permanency hearings, extension hearings, and hearings regarding termination of parental rights. During 2013, 1,125 families benefitted from the program.

Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
