Description

The Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services (MDCPS) is a state government agency dedicated to enhancing the welfare of children and families across Mississippi. While not directly a homelessness resource, the MDCPS does provide critical support for vulnerable and at-risk children who may experience homelessness. They offer services such as foster care, adoption services, and child abuse prevention, and they work tirelessly to ensure children and families are protected. Their mission is to lead Mississippi's efforts in keeping children and youth safe and thriving by strengthening and supporting families.
