| 11/26/25 | How Isaiah 117 House Turns Trauma Into Care On Day One | The hardest day of foster care shouldn’t start on a linoleum floor. When a child is removed from home, the first hours shape everything—what they feel, what they fear, and whether they sense anyone is on their side.

No fluff, just a grounded look at the forces moving your payment and your plan. Steve Reed joins us to unpack the data behind rate direction, explain why... | 31m 17s | ||||||
