In short, the reasons states struggle to meet service needs is because the only way to access services is by, what is called on the streets as "catching a case".
Catching a case is when Child Protective Services is called in. Once this is done then, through court action, funding for programs and services kick in.
Since States have not changed the way it treats poverty and developmental disabilities in children, there are artificially higher rates of abuse and neglect.
The same child welfare services could be provided as community-based/home-based services at a significantly lower rate of cost reimbursement but that would mean the States would have to rewrite its entire history of how it treats children.
