Community residential services and crisis respite services as foster care placements
On March 28, 2024, DHS published a bulletin to clarify when federal and state law considers community residential services and crisis respite services to be foster care placement, consistent with Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS).
