Generations United (GU) is pleased to present this report highlighting the importance of subsidized guardianship programs as a tool for creating permanent, safe, and loving families for children in foster care. GU supports the recommendation of The Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care (Pew Commission) – a nationally renowned, non-partisan panel of child welfare experts – proposing that federal guardianship assistance be available to all children who leave foster care to live with a safe, legal guardian when reunification with parents or adoption is not a viable permanency option. The Pew Commission’s recommendation would help ensure the well-being of thousands of children by allowing them to exit foster care into the care of loving relatives.
