Impact
As the largest child placing agency in the state, KVC is committed to raising the bar in child welfare. During the 2016 fiscal year:
- 1,000 young people were supported by compassionate foster families
- 58 adoptions were facilitated
- 710 clients were served with in-home services
In 2012, The Joint Commission awarded KVC accreditation in the state of Nebraska for meeting the standards of excellence associated with providing behavioral healthcare services, completing KVC system-wide accreditation. This is a testimony to the safe, effective, high-quality care KVC provides to children and families across the state.
“KVC has made significant efforts to expand the number of licensed foster homes in the Southeast Service Area (SESA) to provide additional options for older youth, sibling groups and youth with multiple needs. We appreciate our partnership with KVC to serve children, youth and families in the SESA.” | Lindy Bryceson, Southeast Service Area Administrator, Nebraska DHHS – Children and Family Services
