Texas Department Of Family & Protective Services: Child Protective Services Permanency Strategic Plan

In November 2015, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services released this permanency strategic plan regarding child protective services. The goals of the Permanency Strategic Plan are to safely reduce the average time to achieve positive permanency by 25% by 2020; achieve positive permanency for children under six years old who have been in DFPS conservatorship for more than two years; reduce the number of youth exiting care without a permanent home; and create a culture in which staff and stakeholders value and demonstrate a sense of urgency to achieve positive permanency . . .
