With the Texas foster care system still in crisis and facing a critical moment, can policy makers and stakeholders come together to plan a viable future for the agency—and for Texas’ most vulnerable children? Join TPPF’s Andrew Brown as we partner with the Texas Black Caucus Foundation to discuss the challenges facing the system—and possible solutions. This live event will take place in our theater and online, and complimentary lunch will be provided for in-person attendees.
