Casey Family Programs' 2020 Data Briefs highlight positive, long-term trends associated with each state's progress towards achieving the goals Casey Family Programs has articulated as a part of its 2020 Strategy. One of the main goals of our strategy is to safely reduce the number of children in foster care by 50 percent by the year 2020.

Casey's 2020 Data Briefs link trends and practice improvements to successful outcomes for children in foster care. We use these positive results to inform and improve other child welfare systems efforts across the country.
