The United States Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) will convene a hearing on Tuesday, August 4, to explore alternatives to help families and children reduce reliance on foster care group homes. The hearing, titled “A Way Back Home: Preserving Families and Reducing the Need for Foster Care,” will “explore a variety of policy options and current services that are available to help families and protect children from these destructive homes,” said Hatch. “Finding ways to keep children safely in their own homes or in the care of a loving and stable relative is a much better alternative than relying solely on foster care.”
