Increased rates of immigration enforcement and record numbers of parents of U.S. citizen children being deported have resulted in more children entering the foster care system. Based on work undertaken by The Florence Project in Arizona, this paper outlines strategies for building bridges between the immigration and child welfare systems at the local level in order to better inform frontline workers and improve the chances of children ultimately reunifying with their parents.
