Outcomes
Over the past decade, Lund has grown rapidly to meet increasing needs in Vermont, specifically:
- the multiple issues and stressors families in chronic poverty experience;
- the need to find adoptive families for older children in foster care who are freed for adoption (over 100 children on any given day need adoptive families); and
- the escalating problem of substance abuse among pregnant and parenting women.
The following outcomes detail our success in meeting these needs.
