Todd Lloyd is the director of Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Policy at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, where he leads federal, state and local policy and advocacy strategies to improve outcomes for children, young people and families affected by child welfare and juvenile justice systems. His portfolio also includes advancing state children's behavioral health policies and systems to prevent unnecessary system involvement and strengthen family- and community-based alternatives to restrictive care.
Lloyd leads a team that works closely with the Foundation’s family well-being and juvenile justice strategy groups to translate research, lived experience and promising practice innovations into equitable, evidence-informed policy reforms. His work includes strengthening national and state advocacy infrastructure, advancing bipartisan policy solutions, and mobilizing philanthropic partnerships and public investments to support lasting systems change. He has been a thought partner and leader in national collaborations and campaigns advancing child welfare advocacy, including Journey to Success, the Child Welfare Advocacy Hub and SPARC.
Lloyd brings nearly 30 years of experience spanning direct practice, public systems administration, statewide systems improvement, policy advocacy and philanthropy. Since joining the Foundation in 2015, he has helped lead major national child welfare policy initiatives.
Before joining the Foundation, Lloyd served as child welfare policy director at Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, where he led statewide legislative and policy reform efforts. Earlier, he held leadership positions at the University of Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center and York County Children and Youth Services.
Lloyd holds a master's degree in social work administration from Temple University and a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in family studies from Messiah University.
