Advocacy
CORE represents the national presence advocating for residential care at the federal level.
CORE members play a critical role in the fight to preserve and promote residential care for children and youth in need.
CORE helps members stay informed and take action on the many issues that affect residential care. As a part of CORE, members receive periodic emails and newsletters to keep them updated on issues important to residential care and child welfare. Additionally, CORE alerts members when direct action is needed on a topic.
