NPR's Here & Now: What New Legislation Could Mean For Foster Care In The U.S.

True North Partner, Hope Cooper, was a guest of NPR's Robin Young on this segment about the new Family First law.

"There are about 400,000 kids in foster care in the U.S. For many, it's not a short-term proposition. For the first time, federal reimbursement will be available to states that provide foster care services, after President Trump signed into law the Family First Prevention Services Act, aimed at keeping children with their families and not in foster care."

Here & Now's Robin Young takes a closer look with Hope Cooper (@hopecooper), founding partner of the True North Group, a Washington-based public policy consultancy group.
