Enhancing Permanency for Youth in Out-of-Home Care

This guide is brought to you by the Child Welfare Information Gateway. 

Permanency for youth in foster care should include a permanent legal connection to a family, such as reuniting with birth parents, adoption, kinship care, or legal guardianship. However, when these options are less likely, workers can help youth pursue physical or relational permanency.

This resource will provide you with: 

  • The importance of focusing on youth and family connections
  • Federal legislation supporting youth permanency 
  • Strategies for permanency planning with youth
