Arizona Program Improvement Plan Pilot 2026
This Program Improvement Plan outlines Arizona's commitment to enhancing its child welfare system and improving outcomes for children and families, aligning state strategic goals with federal requirements. The plan focuses on two main goals: preventing foster care entry by increasing access to FFPSA prevention services and strengthening community hubs, and increasing children's opportunity to reside in family-like settings through targeted foster family recruitment and community partnerships. Ultimately, it aims to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe, stable, and family-centered environment.
