These reports examine the placement status of Indian Child Welfare Act eligible children [4E(1)] and children with primary or mixed (multi) ethnicity of American Indian [4E(2)]. Placement status takes placement type, child relationship to substitute care provider, and substitute care provider ethnicity into account. The resulting placement status categories are placements with relatives; with non-relative, Indian substitute care providers; with non-relative, non-Indian substitute care providers; with non-relative substitute care providers with ethnicity missing in CWS/CMS; in group homes (ethnicity cannot be determined); and in other placements.
Please note a change in methodology. Beginning Quarter 1,
2009, we are using a point in time (PIT) count of children in care at
the end of the quarter. In the past, all children served during the quarter were counted. This
change results in a smaller number of children in the count, and some
shift in proportions.
