In May, The Imprint published Where Kin Come First, written by freelance journalist Steven Yoder. This two-part series documented which New York counties were most likely to place children with relatives.

The county-by-county analysis revealed shortcomings, as well as promising practices in kinship care that are being deployed in the Empire State.

You won't find this kind of data-driven child welfare reporting anywhere else. You can support The Imprint today with a donation that means twice as much, because from now through the end of the year, all donations made to The Imprint will be doubled!
