Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts and Child Welfare

Watching the continuing news coverage of families displaced by this
disaster, being shuttled from place to place carrying their belongings
(if they have any left) in plastic bags, I am struck by their
similarities with children in foster care. All of these people need
our assistance right now, and will for a long time to come. We would
like to direct your attention to the links on our webpage devoted to
disaster relief efforts. We are focused primarily on the needs of
families and children who are involved with the child welfare system,
but there are resources listed for the general population, as well.
Information specific to child welfare are listed below. Please share
them with anyone who may need them. If you become aware of other
sources of information or assistance for child welfare-involved
children and families, please share it with us by sending an email to
; we will continue to add new
resources to this page as we receive them.
