Abstract

ABSTRACT This article compares child welfare outcomes and cost savings when 30 Days to Family® is implemented in contrasting policy and practice contexts and at early and mature stages of implementation. Across all contexts and stages, children served, when compared with those eligible but not served, were more likely to be placed with kin, to spend fewer days in foster care, and to experience better permanency outcomes. Those placed with kin, when compared with those not with kin, experienced greater placement stability and fewer placements in treatment settings. Substantial cost savings were demonstrated in both favorable and less-favorable implementation conditions.
