HEY has recently released a new HEY Guide about the intersection of immigration and child welfare. In San Francisco, immigrant youth have been in the spotlight as the city considers various implications of the sanctuary-city policy. In the summer of 2009, HEY began exploratory research on San Francisco–specific issues related to the intersection of immigration and child welfare in order to develop a deeper understanding of the particular issues non-native youth face. With a better comprehension of the multiple barriers and concerns, HEY can support the child welfare system to best protect vulnerable young people in San Francisco in a just and competent way.
