It’s rare to hear a hopeful sense of urgency from a government official about foster care. And yet that’s what seems to be bursting out of my phone as I talk with Alex Adams, the head of the Administration for Children and Families under the Department of Health and Human Services.

He’s talking with me exclusively about ACF’s new “A Home for Every Child Innovation Challenge” being announced today. The competition is incentive to get states to improve their ratios of foster homes to children in foster care now.
