Foster Care

Question: How many children were admitted to foster care in 2016? How many children were residing in foster care on the last day of the year?

Answer: In 2016, 1.6 out of every 1,000 children statewide were admitted to foster care (Figure 7a). The rate of children in foster care on any given day is higher, with approximately 3.0 out of every 1,000 children statewide living in foster care on 12/31/16 (see Figure 7b).

Things to Consider:

• How are your foster care rates impacted by your rate of substantiated CPS reports (Figure 1b)? The availability of preventive services (Figure 2)? Permanency outcomes (Figure 11)?

• Note: Rates for Figures 7a and 7b are calculated using population estimates for children under 22 as children can be in foster care up to the age of 21.

For More Information: See 2016 Monitoring and Analysis Profiles (MAPs)

Foster Care

Question: Where are children placed when they first enter foster care? How do these placement settings change over time?

Answer: These children can be sorted into three types of placements: Home-Based Care, Congregate Care, and Other Placements. First, consider all of the children admitted to foster care in CY 2016 (See Total Admission to Foster Care in Figure 7a). Just over two-thirds (66.7%) of children entering foster care in 2016 were initially admitted to a home-based setting (i.e., foster boarding home or approved relative home) (Figure 8a).

Now consider all children in foster care on 12/31/16 (See Figure 7b). Home-based care remained the most common setting type for children in-care on 12/31/16, and was higher than that observed for new admissions at 80.2% (Figure 8b). Conversely, the percentage of children living in congregate settings was lower for all children in-care (17.4%) than new admissions (31.6%).

Things to Consider:

• How does the percentage of children in home-based settings differ between your admission and in-care sample? Is congregate care more common for children newly admitted or those in care for longer periods of time? Why?

• Other Placements include SILPs and all other placement settings.

For More Information: See 2016 Monitoring and Analysis Profiles (MAPs)

Foster Care

Question: How many children avoid foster care by being placed directly with a relative/other guardian via Article 1017?

Answer: Statewide, 2,038 children were placed directly with a relative through Article 1017 in 2016. Utilization of the 1017 option varied tremendously across districts, with the total number of direct placements ranging from a low of 0 to a high of 584.

Things to Consider:

• How does the number of Direct Placements compare to your district's foster care admission rate (Figure 7a)?

• How might the use of Direct Placements impact your evaluation of your district's ability to place children in home-based settings (Figure 8)? In relative care (Figure 10)?

Foster Care

Question: What percentage of children entering foster care are initially placed with a relative? Of all children in care, what percentage were living with a relative on 12/31/16?

Answer: In 2016, 19.3% (N=1,613) of children entering foster care statewide were initially placed with a relative (i.e., in an approved Relative Home Foster Home or a Foster Boarding Home in which the foster parent was a relative). On 12/31/16, the total number of children known to be living with a relative was higher (N=3,323) and the percentage was slightly higher (20.5%), due to the larger number of children in-care.

Things to Consider:

• Does your district use Direct Placements (Article 1017) instead of placing a child into relative-based foster care? (see Figure 9)

• Is your district always entering the relative caregiver code when a foster parent is a relative?

• Analysis Tip: Figure 10b may underestimate the percentage of children living with a relative, as only children in approved relative foster homes are included. Children living in regular foster boarding homes where the foster parent is also a relative are not included, as the element used to track this is new to Connections and therefore not reliably available for children admitted to foster care prior to 2015.

For More Information: See 2016 Trends in Relative Care and 2016 Monitoring and Analysis Profiles (MAPs)
