On this week’s podcast, we go over some of the actions taken by the Trump administration in their first full week since the inauguration. We also discuss a report that finds some states are sending back federal money to help older foster youth, and a Texas bill that would bring sweeping change to the way the child welfare system works in that state. Rena Johnson of the Aviv Foundation and Mary Bissell of Child Focus join to talk about the Aviv Foundation’s Springboard Prize, an award that will invest $400,000 in several game-change oriented proposals.Reading RoomTrump’s Day-one Actions Reverse Biden Decisionshttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/trump-day-one-actions-reverse-biden-decisions/258340Trump Administration Cancels Child Welfare Contract, Pulls Juvenile Justice Grantshttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/trump-administration-cancels-child-welfare-contract-pulls-juvenile-justice-grants/258439Child Welfare Leaders Stunned by Trump’s Call to Freeze Social Services Spending; Legal Action Quickly Threatenedhttps://imprintnews.org/child-welfare-2/child-welfare-leaders-stunned-by-trumps-call-to-freeze-social-services-spending-legal-action-quickly-threatened/258488Report: Millions for Helping Older Foster Youth Goes Unspenthttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/report-millions-helping-older-foster-youth-goes-unspent/258528HHS Should Help States Address Barriers to Using Federal Funds for Programs Serving Youth Transitioning to Adulthoodhttps://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-25-107154.pdfTexas Lawmakers Consider ‘ICWA for All’ Bill That Would Set New, Higher Standards for Removing ChildrenFrom Homehttps://imprintnews.org/top-stories/texas-lawmakers-consider-icwa-for-all-bill-that-would-set-new-higher-standards-for-removing-children-from-home/258553
