About the Local Host Agency
Center for Improvement of Child and Family Services
Portland State University Graduate School of Social Work
Created in 2006, the Center for Improvement of Child and Family Services at Portland State University's School of Social Work integrates research, education, and training, focusing on key issues in child welfare and related systems. Its intent is to partner with professionals, communities, and families to do better at the community's most important job—taking care of children and supporting families.
The Child Welfare Partnership serves as the foundation for the Center. Founded in 1994 by the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Portland State University Graduate School of Social Work, the Partnership provides training, research, and graduate education for public child welfare staff and programs across the State of Oregon.
