Summary

The Fostering the Future Act requires the Department of Human Services to overhaul child‑welfare data collection, adopt AI‑driven tools for caregiver recruitment and child placement, and launch an initiative that offers education, employment and scholarship resources for youth in or leaving foster care. It also calls for partnerships with faith‑based groups and mandates an annual report to legislative leaders. The goal is to shorten time in foster care, improve safety, and increase self‑sufficiency for former foster children.
