The mission of Casey Family Programs is to provide and improve—and ultimately prevent the need for—foster care.

Since 1966, Casey Family Programs has provided high quality foster care and other direct services to improve the lives of children and families across the country.

Building on more than 40 years of experience in the field, we provide strategic consulting services to help public child welfare agencies improve their services.

We educate state and federal lawmakers on the need for public policy changes that will help child welfare systems provide effective services for children and families.

We provide nonpartisan research so that child welfare professionals and lawmakers can make informed decisions based on data and evidence.
