Family Urgent Response System (FURS) Outreach Materials

Published: February 23, 2022

The page is intended to hold various promotional communication material that the California Department of Social Services has created to promote the FURS to Caregivers and Youth.

Family Urgent Response System

Published: November 30, 2021

Family Urgent Response System (FURS) is a free 24/7/365 hotline for current or former foster youth and your caregivers to call and get immediate help for any big or small issues they may be having. FURS is intended to help increase foster placement stability by providing on-demand support for foster youth and caregivers when challenging situations arise.

The Promise of Continuum of Care Reform (CCR)

Published: September 10, 2021

Continuum of Care Reform draws together a series of existing and new reforms to our child welfare services program designed out of an understanding that children who must live apart from their biological parents do best when they are cared for in committed nurturing family homes. AB 403 provides the statutory and policy framework to ensure services and supports provided to the child or youth and his or her family are tailored toward the ultimate goal of maintaining a stable permanent family. Reliance on congregate care should be limited to short-term, therapeutic interventions that are just one part of a continuum of care available for children, youth and young adults. Implementation efforts for CCR will occur in stages between now and 2021 in Child Welfare Services, and in succeeding years in probation foster care.
