Data-Driven Insights on Kin Placements & Kin Stability
September 29, 2025
During their work in multiple states, the Foster Insights team at the University of Chicago has observed notable trends in kin placement rates and the stability of kin placements. We shared these observed trends and discussed their implications for stakeholders across the child welfare space.
