Current Issues
The FFTA Public Policy Committee continuously monitors legislative
and policy issues that impact Treatment Foster Care agencies and
the children and families that we serve. Currently, the committee
is surveying FFTA members on the uses of Levels of Care and Performance-based
Contracting in their states. It is also closely monitoring the various
child welfare financing proposals and recommendations that are being
put forth.
FFTA is interested in supporting policy issues on a local level
as well. Through the FFTA Rapid Response Initiative, FFTA can support
position statements and advocacy efforts on issues impacting members
at a state or county level. More information on the Rapid Response
Initiative - - a members-only service, can be found on the Members-Only
section.
The Current Issues section of this site will evolve as new legislative
and policy initiatives surface. Check back here from time-to-time
to see what we’re monitoring.
