Policy Resource Hub
This hub includes child welfare law policy and advocacy resources.
NACC’s vision is for every child, parent, and family to be well-supported in their community and have equitable access to justice through culturally responsive, client-centered legal representation. To help make that reality, NACC and its partners advocate at the state and federal level for high-quality legal representation and other related reforms.
