First Placement/Best Placement (Columbus)

A demonstration project to provide an assessment of each child coming into care and their family. The primary goal of this 30-day program is to find permanency for all children served within one year.

A program to improve services for children and families; to ensure appropriate placement within one year of a child entering the custody of the state, provide stability and expedite permanency for children in care through reunification with the birth family, placement with the extended family, long term foster care or termination of parental rights and adoption and to promote parental involvement and responsibility.
