WEBINAR: Clarity on the Clearinghouse: Does the Tool That Tells Us What Works Really Work?

Hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, this panel discussion evaluates the standards and efficacy of the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse, which was established by the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2018 to keep children out of foster care. Experts and practitioners will explore why the clearinghouse's exceptionally high benchmark has approved relatively few programs, questioning if it has meaningfully transformed the services families actually receive. The session will explore the ongoing disagreements on how evidence for approved programs is interpreted and identify key areas for potential reform.
