National Resource Centers & AdoptUSKids

The overarching goal of the seven NRCs and the collaboration to AdoptUSKids described below is to help states, tribes, and public child welfare agencies implement Federal legislation intended to ensure the safety, well-being, and permanent placement of children who enter the child welfare system. These Centers conduct needs assessments, provide on-site technical assistance, identify and disseminate best practices, and coordinate and collaborate with other NRCs and agencies.
