Virginia Children's Services Act

The Virginia Children’s Services Act (CSA) is a state program that funds and coordinates services for children and families involved in the child welfare system. Its goal is to ensure children’s safety, well-being, and stability by providing appropriate support, treatment, and placement options, such as foster care, counseling, or specialized services. The CSA promotes collaboration among various agencies and community resources to create individualized plans for each child's needs, aiming to reduce reliance on costly institutional care and support healthier family environments whenever possible.
