An Assessment of Child Welfare Privatization in Nebraska

This study compares the performance of case management functions by Nebraska Families Collaborative (NFC) in the Eastern Service Area with that of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in the remainder of the state, offering an update to the 2012 Assessment of Child Welfare Services in Nebraska report and providing an analysis of whether case management should be a duty of DHHS or performed by a private contracted entity, and whether the costs are reasonable.
