We’re bringing folks to the table that have been served by our system so we can hold ourselves accountable and grow and develop. It feels wonderful to see us going in this trajectory – and there’s more work to be done.
— Joe Homlar Director of the Division of Child Welfare Colorado Department of Human Services
ADVANCING RACIAL EQUITY Colorado is taking deliberate steps to address racial disparities across the state’s child welfare system. Foster America has played a critical role in convening state and local leaders to confront these challenges, align around priorities, and co-design solutions. In 2024, we hosted “Co-Creating an Equity Vision and Strategy,” the final of a three-part convening series dedicated to addressing disparities in Colorado’s child welfare system. Foster America remains committed to working alongside Colorado’s leaders, lived experts, and communities to sustain this progress, ensuring a future where every family has access to the support they need — when, where, and how they need it.
