Dear Secretary Cook:
The 2000 Legislature directed the Washington State Institute for Public Policy to compare placement decisions and funding methodologies for residential care services for children in long-term foster care and to examine the best practices in other states (EHB 2487). This report addresses the placement and funding decisions; a separate report will cover innovative practices and a literature review.
The enclosed report represents preliminary findings, as they are based on half the anticipated sample. In order to provide necessary protection to both children in foster care and their caregivers, researchers followed informed consent procedures that extended the study’s time frame. A final report will be produced by the end of March 2001.
If you have any questions, please call me at (360) 586-2768.
Sincerely,
ROXANNE LIEB, Director
The Washington State Institute For Public Policy Report on placement and funding decisions for residential care services for children in long-term foster care is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
