Abstract
The child welfare system in Texas is undergoing a fundamental shift in its service delivery model for children in foster care. In this new model, Community Based Care (CBC), responsibility lies with a local nonprofit or local governmental entity (known as a Single Source Continuum Contractor or SSCC) for developing foster care capacity, building a network of service providers, engaging the community, foster care placement services, and coordinating and delivering services to children in foster care and their families.
