    ACS has implemented several strategies to improve outcomes for children in foster care, focusing on reducing residential care, increasing kinship placements, and enhancing support for youth.

    • Less than 10% of youth in foster care are in residential placements
    • About 45% of children in care reside with family or close family friends
    • One-third of children reunify with their families in the first year
    • Expanded support programs like Fair Futures and College Choice for youth in care
