Abstract
Child Trends conducted this, the ninth national survey of child welfare agency expenditures, for SFY 2014. This round revealed a 1 percent decrease in total spending (as compared to the previous round), with a decrease in federal funds spent by child welfare agencies, and a slight increase in state/local funds. However, a more dramatic picture emerges when trends are examined over the past decade. Overall expenditures have decreased, and the funding composition has shifted to greater dependency on state and local funds. Policy changes and economic conditions have contributed to this change in composition and how states use their funds. This report is one of an array of resources compiled from the survey’s findings.
