An important message from the Capacity Building Center for States:
Thank you for being a part of the Capacity Building Center for States online community! It has been a pleasure sharing resources with you to support child welfare agencies and expand their capacity to improve outcomes for children, young people, and families. September 29, 2024, marks the end of the Center for States contract. Moving forward, this page will no longer be monitored. Training and technical assistance will continue through the new National Child Welfare Center for Innovation and Advancement (NCWCIA). The Children’s Bureau (CB) expects those services to be in place by the beginning of 2025. Future updates will be shared through CB communication channels.
