Abstract
Key findings show some continued trends, but also reveal new and interesting spending patterns. Most notably, the data show an overall decline in expenditures by child welfare agencies in the U.S.—the first decline since the survey began in SFY 1996. Also of particular note is the measurable decrease in federal funds over the two year period the survey examined (SFYs 2010-2012), and the finding that federal expenditures on child welfare activities are at their lowest level since the SFY 1998 survey.
