Since 2017, The Imprint (formerly The Chronicle of Social Change) has been working to build the nation’s first public resource on foster care capacity. We collect data directly from each state, and combine that with federal reports to answer two critical questions:
How many children and youth are in foster care today? And where and with whom are they living?
Join us November 19 to learn about the findings in this year's report. We will reveal our 2020 estimate for the number of youth in foster care, assess trends in licensed foster homes and the use of relatives and group homes, and introduce attendees to our newest metric in the Who Cares report: Family Separation.
This session will be hosted by The Imprint's senior editor, John Kelly, with help from Melissa Carter, executive director of the Barton Child Law and Policy Center, and Andy Barclay, founder of the Barton Center.
