  • DESCRIPTION

The report examines three issues that have a substantial impact on Black families and Black communities -- foster care, fatherhood and identity development. "Family Matters is a must read for not only grantmakers but for policymakers and family and child advocates alike," said Susan Taylor Batten, ABFE's President and CEO. "The investment strategies and recommendations outlined in this report offer important lessons and advice for those of us concerned with the well-being of Black families."
