The Imprint's annual project Who Cares: A National Count of Foster Homes and families is the nation’s first public resource on foster care capacity. The Imprint collects data directly from each state, and combines that with specially obtained federal reports to shed light on two critical questions: How many kids are in #fostercare today? And where are they living? This data collection project takes countless hours of submitting records requests and doing in-depth research. We can't continue this without your support. Will you consider making a donation today so we can continue to provide this important and informative data?

Public lands are a public good, but they are not being used for the public good. The City is selling, leasing, or redeveloping them without consulting the communities that use them. This can result in the loss of affordable nonprofit community space, and the increase of community demands. We need the City to implement three recommendations that will help address the space crisis. The third recommendation is to ensure a process for community consultations/community space needs before selling, leasing, or redeveloping publicly-owned lands. This includes creating an impact report on the expansion or loss of affordable nonprofit community space, and associated community demands. We need your help to make this happen.
