About 14% of the more than 400,000 children in foster care nationwide lived in group homes or institutions, known as congregate care, at the end of FY 2013, according to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) data. Given the importance of family-based care to foster childrenäó»s well-being, this report reviewed state use of congregate care. It examines (1) how selected states have reduced their use of congregate care; and (2) some challenges with reducing congregate care placements, and efforts HHS has taken to help states reduce congregate care. Includes recommendations. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
