Program Performance Measures

Program Performance MeasuresActual FY24Actual FY25Estimated FY26Target FY27Target FY28
Number of ongoing clients in Adult Foster Care - unduplicated annual count 110599109114120
Percent of clients remaining in community placement (i.e., small Assisted Living Facilities and Project Homes) and not entering institutional setting 296%92%96%96%96%
1  There was a 6% decrease from FY24 to FY25. This is due in part to challenges in stabilizing Adult Protective Services (APS) clients who are experiencing high risk situations before they transfer to the Adult Foster Care (AFC) Program. The decrease is also due to the decrease in APS investigations this fiscal year, leading to fewer referrals to AFC.
2  Adult Foster Care maintains the least restrictive alternative to institutionalization/nursing home admissions as a goal, and still remains successful in maintaining a very high percentage of clients remaining in the community, thereby reducing the higher cost of institutional care.
