This report provides preliminary estimates of Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) data for FY 2014. As states are permitted to resubmit AFCARS data, the estimates may change over time.
This data brief summarizes changes in the size and racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. foster care population and provides new geographic detail.
This guide helps title IV-E agencies prepare for an Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) assessment review. It includes technical assistance and tools to conduct a self-assessment of a title IV-E agency’s data collection system and guidance for developing a system that supports AFCARS data collection.
The FRU can generate a report that provides an overview of the number and type of raw responses being generated for a particular data element to help title IV-E agencies assess and improve data quality.
The DCU contains the same data compliance checks as the federal AFCARS and creates a report showing if a title IV-E AFCARS file meets federal standards.
