This website provides information and resources on the entire Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR) process, including A Home for Every Child, Children’s Bureau guidance and announcements, state-specific CFSR information, the E-Learning Academy (ELA), and the Online Monitoring System (OMS).
Reports available:
Statewide Assessment — Prior to the onsite review, each state completes a Statewide Assessment in which they examine their child welfare data in light of the outcomes for children and families subject to review. The state also addresses in narrative the systemic issues under review relative to their influence on the state’s capacity to deliver effective services.
CFSR Final Report — Following the onsite review component of the CFSRs, the Children’s Bureau prepares a Final Report for each state containing the review outcomes.
Program Improvement Plan — States are required to submit a Program Improvement Plan if found out of conformance on any one of the seven outcomes or seven systemic factors subject to review.
AH4EC Program Improvement Plan — States participating in the A Home for Every Child (AH4EC) pilot submit an AH4EC Program Improvement Plan—focused specifically on achieving the 1:1 home‑to‑child ratio goal—in place of a traditional Program Improvement Plan.
