ALEXANDRIA, La. — The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) hosted the first stop of its Foster Care Community Listening Tour at the Westside Regional Library in Alexandria. The event brought together foster caregivers, families, regional leaders, and community partners. With the Legislature currently in session and the department focused on continued improvement, the event gave families the chance to speak directly about their experiences with the foster system. Attendees were invited to discuss problems they faced and possible solutions to make the system more stable for children and families. There is a significant need for foster homes in the Alexandria region. In 2025, the region supported 1,038 children in foster care, with an average of 273 open foster homes. Additionally, 275 children were reunified with their families and 69 adoptions were finalized. As of April 6, 2026, the region’s foster-home-to-child ratio is 0.44 to 1, underscoring the ongoing need for more foster families. The Alexandria region is seeing the benefits of recent operational improvements, including expanded investigator coverage, faster intake response times, and a modernized Child Safety Response Center, all of which strengthen support for children and families. “Central Louisiana has a significant need for child welfare work, and the voices we heard today reflect both the challenges and the deep commitment of this community,” said DCFS Secretary Harris. “With the Legislature in session and our agency focused on real, measurable improvement, it is essential that we listen directly to those who live this work every day. The insights shared in Alexandria will help guide the decisions we make to support families, strengthen placements, and ensure every child has the stability they deserve.” If you are interested in learning more about becoming a foster caregiver or supporting children and families, please visit http://dcfs.la/lahome.

Baton Rouge, La. — The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) continued its Foster Care Community Listening Tour with a gathering in Baton Rouge, where foster caregivers, advocates, and community partners shared their lived experiences to help guide improvements to the child welfare system. The event focused on what families face during difficult moments and what children need when they must temporarily live outside their homes. The Baton Rouge region received 6,525 reports of suspected abuse or neglect in 2025. When families are in crisis, foster homes provide children with stability and care while parents receive the support they need to safely reunify. For some children, returning home is not possible, and adoption offers the safest and most permanent path forward. Foster families partner with DCFS to help children move toward the permanent homes that are best suited to their needs. The Baton Rouge region supported 721 children in foster care during 2025, with an average of 463 children in care each month. Local foster caregivers helped 214 children return safely to their families and finalized 42 adoptions. These outcomes reflect the strength and compassion of the Baton Rouge families who step forward to care for children in their community. The Baton Rouge region continues to face a significant shortage of foster homes. The current home-to-child ratio is 0.26 to 1, meaning there is only about 1 foster home available for every 3.8 children in care. This shortage shows how urgently more foster families are needed across the six parishes the region serves. The session is part of DCFS’s broader work, directed by Governor Landry’s Executive Order 25-130, to modernize Louisiana’s child welfare system and address critical needs such as the regional foster home shortage. “Baton Rouge showed us what it looks like when a community comes together with honesty and heart,” said DCFS Secretary Harris. “The stories shared today remind us that foster care is about standing with families during their hardest moments so children can feel safe and supported. The insights we heard will guide our work to strengthen stability, reduce unnecessary moves, and make sure every child has the chance to grow in a home where they feel anchored and cared for.” DCFS will continue gathering input from communities across the state throughout the Foster Care Community Listening Tour. The department remains committed to building a foster care system that prioritizes stability, family, and the voices of those with lived experience. With the support of caregivers, partners, and residents, Louisiana can ensure that every child has a safe place to stay and every family has a path toward healing. Here is how the community can help support children and families right now:

BATON ROUGE, La. – Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services Secretary Rebecca Harris led a discussion between national experts, national and state leaders, and members of the Louisiana Legislature on the current state of Child Welfare and to collaborate on needed reforms. “It is clear with the many discussions around Child Welfare and needed reforms that we all want what is best for Louisiana’s children. This roundtable was held to bring everyone together, along with experts from across the country, so that we can coordinate efforts, align goals, and agree on the path forward,” said DCFS Secretary Harris. National experts present included Dr. David Sanders, executive vice president of systems improvement for Casey Family Programs and chair for Congress’ Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities, Dr. Alex Mayer, former head of the West Virginia Department of Human Services, and Cody Cathey, technology lead for the Administration for Children and Families. Louisiana Senators Regina Barrow and Beth Mizell, along with Julie Emerson, Governor Landry’s chief of staff, also attended. After a brief overview of current program challenges and data, the group discussed opportunities to strengthen Child Welfare, taking into consideration outcomes from other states and using guidance from the national experts. Key discussion points included improved and sustained communication between all systems involved in a child’s well-being, transparency, and understanding the most at-risk populations. DCFS leadership remains committed to child safety, stabilizing families, and collaborating with our partners.

SHREVEPORT, La. — The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) continued its Foster Care Community Listening Tour today with its fifth stop in Shreveport. Foster caregivers, advocates, and community partners came together to share their experiences and challenges that foster children and caregivers face—and to help steer improvements to the child welfare system. The Shreveport session coincides with National Foster Care Month, a time dedicated to recognizing caregivers and the children who are waiting for homes. The discussion focused on difficulties children face when they must live outside their homes and how the community can support those children. Foster homes provide children with stability and care. When reunification with the child’s parents is not possible, adoption can offer the safest path forward. Foster families partner with DCFS to help children move toward homes that are best suited to their needs. Caregivers also emphasized the importance of strong working relationships among frontline child welfare staff, foster parents and children, noting that those connections are essential to stability and good outcomes. Several participants reflected on the increasing demands placed on the child welfare system and the importance of ensuring staff have the time, tools and support needed to stay closely connected with foster families. Their message was clear: when staff and caregivers are able to work together consistently, children are better supported. The Shreveport region supported 1,013 children in foster care during 2025, with an average of 591 children in care each month. Local foster caregivers helped 342 children return safely to their families and finalized 50 adoptions. These outcomes reflect the strength and dedication of the Shreveport families who step forward to care for children in their community. The Shreveport region has a shortage of foster homes. The current home-to-child ratio is 0.66-to-1. More foster families are needed to support children and meet the goal of a 1-to-1 ratio of homes to children set forth by the Administration for Children and Families’ “A Home for Every Child” program. The work that DCFS is doing in Shreveport and around the state follows Governor Landry's plan, directed by Executive Order 25-130, to modernize the state's child welfare system and address critical needs such as the regional foster home shortage. "Hearing directly from foster families during National Foster Care Month makes this conversation even more meaningful," said DCFS Secretary Harris. "The Shreveport community showed up with honesty and purpose, and the perspectives shared today will help shape real improvements for the children and families in this region. We heard clearly how important strong, consistent relationships are among foster caregivers, frontline staff and the children we serve. Every voice we heard reinforces why this work matters and why we remain committed to building a system where every child has a safe, stable home." DCFS is committed to building a foster care system that prioritizes stability, family, and the voices of those with lived experience in and around the system. With the support of caregivers and partners, Louisiana can ensure that every child has a path toward healing. Here is how the community can help support children and families right now:

The event provided space for foster caregivers, advocates, and community partners to share insights and guide improvements to the child welfare system. The discussion focused on the challenges children face when living outside their homes. Foster homes provide refuge and stability for children, while parents receive the support they need to safely reunify as a family. For some children, returning home is not possible, and adoption offers the safest and most permanent path forward. Foster families partner with DCFS to help children move toward the permanent homes that are best suited to their needs. The Monroe region supported 851 children in foster care during 2025, with an average of 523 children in care each month. Local foster caregivers helped 196 children return safely to their families and finalized 53 adoptions. These successes reveal the compassion of the Monroe families who step forward to care for children in their community. The Monroe region is facing a shortage of foster homes. The current home to child ratio is 0.39 to 1. More foster families are needed across the eleven parishes to meet the DCFS goal of a 1 to 1 ratio of homes to children. The work DCFS is doing in Monroe today is part of Governor Landry’s plan, directed by Executive Order 25-130, to modernize the state’s child welfare system and address needs such as the regional foster home shortage. “The foster community in the Monroe region continues to inspire and inform our work at DCFS,” said DCFS Secretary Harris. “We are dedicated to change that brings stability for the foster children and the families who support them because every child deserves a safe and stable environment to grow.” DCFS is committed to building a foster care system that prioritizes stability, family, and the voices of those with lived experience in and around the system. With the support of caregivers and partners, Louisiana can ensure that every child and every family has a path toward healing.

LAFAYETTE, La. — The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) continued its Foster Care Community Listening Tour with its third stop in Lafayette, drawing the largest turnout of the tour so far. Caregivers, community partners, and local advocates gathered at Our Savior’s Church for a session of honest, solution-driven conversations in a setting designed to give participants the space and safety to speak openly about their experiences. A DCFS facilitator guided small-group discussions that produced clear, actionable recommendations to deepen support for children and families in the region and build stronger collaboration across everyone involved in a child’s care. The need for continued engagement is evident in the Lafayette region, where 635 children are currently in foster care and 286 foster homes are available, equating to a home-to-child ratio of 0.45 to 1. These numbers highlight the importance of expanding foster home capacity to ensure children can remain in family-based homes within their communities. As DCFS continues strengthening collaboration across courts, law enforcement, healthcare partners, and local organizations, insights from Lafayette will help shape statewide improvements aimed at increasing foster parent inquiries, shortening certification timelines, reducing placement disruptions, and decreasing sibling separations. “Getting to know foster caregivers here in Lafayette was truly energizing,” said DCFS Secretary Harris. “We created a space where people felt safe to be honest, and that opened the door to some of the most powerful conversations we’ve had on this tour. The ideas and perspectives shared today came from people who know this system, and their voices will play a real role in shaping the changes we make to better support children and families across Louisiana.” Here is how the community can help support children and families right now:

Covington, La. — As Louisiana recognizes National Foster Care month, the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) continued its Foster Care Community Listening Tour with a stop in Covington. The event was attended by Louisianans who have a variety of experiences with the foster care system, including caregivers, advocates, and community partners, for conversations on strengthening supports for children and families. The session emphasized the shared responsibility communities carry in helping children remain safe, connected, and supported during difficult transitions. Participants discussed the day-to-day realities of caregiving, the importance of clear communication with DCFS staff, and the need for resources that help keep children close to their homes, schools, and communities. Participants also offered insight into ways to strengthen collaboration among DCFS staff, schools, healthcare providers, emergency responders, and the courts—stressing that when partners work from the same information and toward shared goals, children experience greater stability. Caregivers highlighted the value of timely support and relationships built on trust. There are 517 children currently in foster care, supported by 290 certified foster homes in the Covington region. During the past year, local foster caregivers helped 269 children safely reunify with their families and finalized 119 adoptions. These numbers highlight both the dedication of regional caregivers and the necessity to increase the number of available homes to meet children's needs. In the Covington region, the current home-to-child ratio is 0.56-to-1, meaning that more foster homes are needed to support children and meet the goal of a 1-to-1 ratio of homes to children put forth by the Administration for Children and Families’ “A Home for Every Child” initiative. Foster care recruitment, outreach, and stronger community resources support Governor Landry’s Executive Order 25-130 to modernize the state's child welfare system and address critical needs, including the regional foster home shortage. “Families on the Northshore are telling us what is working and what is not," said DCFS Secretary Rebecca Harris. "What we hear is shaping how we strengthen Family Services, expand support for Foster Caregivers, and bring HomeReady online so children reach safe, stable homes faster. Policy that does not reflect what is happening in Covington is policy that fails kids." DCFS is committed to building a foster care system that prioritizes stability, family, and the voices of those with lived experience in and around the system. With the support of caregivers and partners, Louisiana can ensure that every child has a path toward healing. Here is how the community can support children and families right now:

NATALBANY — Summertime is here and that means it is time for road work to kick off across Tangipahoa Parish.
