Project Update
CTG Starts Data Collection for 2nd Round of National Youth in Transition Database Project
CTG has started collecting the second round of outcome data for the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) project. Every three years, states are required to collect data from youth turning 17 while in foster care. States must then collect data again from the same youth when they turn 19 and 21, enabling child welfare agencies to assess the quality and usage of their independent living services offered to youth. This is the first, national, longitudinal data collection effort where youth get to provide the information. The goal is to improve services by hearing directly from the youth. NYTD features a Facebook page, Twitter handle, and dedicated website.
