State of New Jersey, Department of Children and Families

Committed to turning around New Jersey’s child welfare system with an aggressive and focused reform plan and strong leadership, Governor Jon S. Corzine made one of his first priorities the creation of the state’s first Cabinet agency devoted exclusively to serving and safeguarding the most vulnerable children and families in the state.

On Tuesday, July 11, 2006, Governor Corzine signed legislation, which received overwhelming support in the legislature, to officially establish the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF).
The new department is staffed by over 6,600 state child welfare employees who were already working in divisions within the Department of Human Services (DHS) focused on child protection, welfare, education and permanency, child behavioral health and abuse prevention.
An interim body, the Governor’s Policy Advisory Council on Human Service Restructuring, is charged with evaluating existing resources within state government and to make recommendations for efficiency and alignment of resources to improve services in the areas of child welfare and for vulnerable residents being served by DHS and DCF.
