MIDLAND, Texas When CPS can t find a foster family for the children they re helping, their next step is a licensed emergency shelter for up to 90 days, sometimes longer.
If that isn t an option, they move to their last resort, CWOP spaces. These are unlicensed placements for children without placement and CPS workers care for these children in these places.
This is the situation Buckner Midland is currently finding themselves in.
The program has five graduates this year. Author: Rachel Ripp (News West9) Published: 10:30 AM CST December 28, 2020 Updated: 10:30 AM CST December 28, 2020
