HB25-1097: Placement Transition Plans for Childrenhttps://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-1097?blm_aid=12288(Primary Bill Sponsor: Representative Lindsay Gilchrist, former director of CHAMPS Colorado and Denver County Foster Parent. If you would like to connect with Representative Gilchrist, you can email her legislative aid (Grant) at gwilliamson2802@gmail.com.)At Foster Source, we believe in the importance of elevating the voice of lived experience in both policy and practice. What that means in child welfare is that YOUR voice is needed! As an agency, our goal is to educate you on bills that will impact you and the children in your care. We will never tell you how to feel about any particular bill, but instead strive to highlight ways you can engage as an individual with lived experience. HB25-1097, Placement Transition Plans for Children, is one of the bills before our legislators this year that has the potential to greatly impact your experience and the experience of our most vulnerable children. It has passed through the House and is now in the Senate. Last night, in the Senate Committee, there were many who showed up opposing the bill and several who showed up in favor of it. You can listen to the arguments at the link below if you would like (start at 8:27 timestamp). https://sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00327/Harmony/…_Everyone who testified in favor of the bill was there with some type of lived experience with the system (former foster youth, biological parents, foster and kin parents). There is a good amount of opposition to the bill that you will hear in testimony as well.Right now, there’s no standardized approach across counties for how children are moved from one home to another. This leads to inconsistent, and often abrupt, transitions that can further traumatize already vulnerable youth.HB25-1097 is trying to address that by:-Requiring the Colorado Department of Human Services to create a consistent placement transition plan template for counties.-Ensuring communication frameworks are in place before and after a child is moved, involving the child and caregivers in the process.-Providing training for caseworkers and foster/kinship parents, co-designed by people with lived experience.-Reducing emotional harm by creating better-coordinated transitions.In 2024 alone, children in care in Colorado experienced over 2,400 transitions, with some facing as many as eight moves during their total time in care. This instability can have lifelong impacts. HB25-1097 is trying to honor the rights and emotional needs of foster youth. If you are interested in sharing your experience and perspective on this bill with your senator, you can find them here. If you have never contacted your senator before and aren’t sure what to say, some helpful tips for creating an email are attached. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to email jody@fostersource.org. ... See MoreSee Less

We're proudly showing off our DECA diamond after a year of being the partner agency of Colorado DECA's 10/10/10 initiative. This incredible program, and all of the high school students who participate statewide, brought Foster Source over $10,000, 10,000 hours of volunteers and 10,000 pounds of donated food. The officers and students we engaged with were all AMAZING - the future looks bright with these youth leading the way. Thank you, DECA, on behalf of foster and kinship families statewide. #thisisfostercare #kinshipcare #nonprofit #coloradodeca ... See MoreSee Less

Foster Source classes provide an opportunity for caregivers to expand their knowledge to be able to navigate behaviors and build stronger relationships with the child(ren) in their care. We aim to offer childcare at every in person event to allow caregivers to participate, which also provides children an opportunity to connect with other children in care. One caregiver shares, “You guys are doing AMAZING things for us! My kids LOVE coming to the trainings with me and are sad when we are leaving!” ... See MoreSee Less
