It is the 200th episode of The Imprint Weekly Podcast! On this week’s episode we go through some fun facts about the first 199 episodes of the show, and then talk to Cheyanne Deopersaud about the virtual mayoral forum on youth issues she organized and will host this week (free registration info in the show notes). We discuss the many things going on in Washington, D.C., including a nominee to lead child welfare policy for the Trump administration; layoffs and reorganization of the agency he will likely lead; and new data on how much states rely on welfare funds to pay for child welfare services. We also discuss the end of the criminal case against a foster youth advocate arrested on Capitol Hill in December, and a few recent great reads from The Imprint. Thanks to SpeakWrite for sponsoring this week’s episode.Reading RoomYouth in Focus: NYC Mayoral Candidate ForumThursday, April 17 5pm EST // Register: https://bit.ly/4ifDgqWFoster Youth Deserve Better Than Unsafe, Scary Housinghttps://imprintnews.org/youth-voice/foster-youth-deserve-better-than-unsafe-scary-housing/255986Alex Adams Nominated to Lead Administration for Children and Familieshttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/alex-adams-nominated-to-lead-administration-for-children-and-families/259907Zero-Based Regulation A Step-by-Step Guide for Stateshttps://manhattan.institute/article/zero-based-regulation-a-step-by-step-guide-for-statesHHS Reorganization Brings Cuts, Changes to Child Welfare Divisionhttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/hhs-reorganization-brings-cuts-changes-to-child-welfare-division/260150States Use Billions in Welfare Funds to Pay for Child Welfare Systems, Report Findshttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/states-use-billions-in-welfare-funds-to-pay-for-child-welfare-systems-report-finds/260389Trump Halts, then Reinstates, Then Again Halts Legal Counsel for Unaccompanied Minors Seeking Asylumhttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/trump-halts-legal-counsel-for-unaccompanied-minors-seeking-asylum/259021Prosecutors Withdraw Rep.
