What is the Data Portal?

The data portal provides access to descriptive and outcome data about TAY who are currently or were previously in foster care. These data facilitate a deeper understanding of ongoing TAY involvement with the child welfare system and other public institutions, thereby supporting individuals who are working to improve outcomes for TAY.

Why Use the Data Portal

The data portal provides ongoing access to, and dynamic reports on:

  • information on entries to out-of-home care for youth age 18 to 20;
  • point-in-time estimates of the number of youth age 18 to 21 who have an open child welfare or probation supervised placement and their living arrangements; and
  • employment and education outcomes among TAY who were in out-of-home care.
