One of the Arizona Council's legislative priorities for 2022 is to address increasing the kinship foster care stipend from $75 to $300 per child per month. Along with this, we want to address barriers to licensure for kinship and foster families.
We are looking for kinship families (licensed and unlicensed), foster families, and staff at foster care licensing agencies to complete our very short 3-question survey by November 30. We know this is a quick turnaround time, but we want this information to inform our advocacy efforts at the legislature and with DCS.
Feel free to share this link to the survey with others -- we are looking for a broad range of input from the community.
