This webpage highlights four resource guides to help State legislators address the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on children, families, and caseworkers involved with the child welfare system. The resource guides address: COVID-19 and child welfare caseworkers, COVID-19 and congregate care facilities, COVID-19 and foster and kinship caregivers, COVID-19 and older youth in the child welfare system. A summary is provided for each resource, as well as the guidance provided to legislators, State and federal activity, State examples, and federal resources.
