"I got in a debate w/sven back in April over this and the outcome was him saying that there were the same types of contractors in HI, so I checked. I have not checked with CT, feel free though...lol"

In the seventies, there were two contractors with HHS to administer the Federal foster care program.

Currently, there are many contractors with HHS to administer the Federal foster care program. Furthermore, Obama has changed the policy on citizenship with regard to the Federal foster care program. In the seventies, only minors with foreign nationality could participate in the program. Today, any child, regardless of citizenship, can participate in the Federal foster care program if they meet certain criteria.

From the link in the post 117.
In 1971, there were only two contractors with HHS to administer the Federal Foster Care program. The two contractors were Catholic Social Services of Connecticut and Lutheran Social Services. Lutheran Social Services primarily focused on Ports of Entry along the East Coast in 1971. Catholic Social Services of Connecticut administered the program throughout the U.S. Consequently, Catholic Social Services of Connecticut was the only provider of the Federal Foster Care program to take custody of an unaccompanied minor with foreign nationality at a Port of Entry in Hawaii.
