Every effort is <br />made to help the child remain with his or her family; however when a child comes into <br />care they are often placed in a resource home. The resource family works as a team with <br />the local department of social services, the biological family, the child (when applicable) <br />and any additional community partners to provide services to the removal family, the child <br />and the resource family. The desired outcome of foster care is to reunify the child with <br />their family. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br /> The DSS received a $100 check from Tidewater Baptist Missionary and <br />Educational Convention Inc. <br /> <br /> Donated funds are to be utilized for the Department of Social Services’ Foster <br /> <br />Children for Christmas program. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br /> <br /> <br /> The funding available to assist citizens in need would increase by $100. <br /> <br />Recommended Action: <br /> <br /> Adoption of the ordinance <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
