About A Better Childhood
A Better Childhood is a nonprofit organization that presents itself as a national 501(c)(3) advocacy group working to reform child welfare systems. Litigation is central to its method: its reform campaigns and class actions aim at improving conditions for children in foster care and other child welfare settings. Beyond filing suits, it says it tracks government compliance once a case is underway.
Its website lists cases in a range of jurisdictions, among them Alaska, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington, D.C. One of these is Elisa W. v. The City of New York, a class action filed in 2015 on behalf of New York City foster children; the page describes a class of nearly 8,000 children. Its contact address is 420 Lexington Avenue, Room 2035, New York, NY 10170, with a listed phone of (646) 795-4456.
