Outcome VII Foster Care Re-Entries

(March 2016 March 2017)

Reentries into foster care improved during December 2016 followed by a spike revealing that the number of re-entries doubled.

Because the number of entries increased in January the re-entry rate remained below the national standard. The re-entry rate and number of reentries for March 2017 was lower than it has been in 12 months.
