Permanency. In order to achieve permanency for children in DHS’ custody, the department has implemented core permanency strategies for children with the goal of reunification; for children who are legally free with a goal of adoption but do not yet have a permanent family identified; for children who are legally free and have an identified permanent placement; and, for older legally free youth without an adoption goal at risk of aging out of xxxxxx care. Timeliness of Children’s Permanency, Metrics 6.2 (a-d) The four 6.2 Metrics (a, b, c and d) measure DHS’ progress to achieve timely permanency for children who entered DHS’ custody at a designated time and who achieved permanency in 12, 24, 36 or 48 months from the child’s removal from their family. As discussed in previous Commentaries, DHS has implemented Permanency Safety Consultations (PSCs) as the primary core strategy to achieve timely permanency for children with the goal of reunification. In addition, during the report period, DHS has prioritized a more proactive and systematic practice to engage birth families early and often after a child is placed in DHS custody in an effort to secure more timely permanency for children with reunification goals. For children who have a permanency plan of adoption, DHS has implemented a number of strategies described below to finalize more timely each child’s life-long connection with an adoptive family. The following summaries and tables detail the baselines, performance to date and Target Outcomes for each of the 6.2 Metrics.25 Metric 6.2a, Permanency within 12 months of removal: DHS reports that of the 2,372 children who entered xxxxxx care between April 1, 2017 and September 30, 2017, 847 children achieved permanency within 12 months of their removal date. This represents a permanency achievement rate of 35.7 percent for Metric 6.2a, which is DHS’ highest reported performance to date. 25 For this report period, the Co-Neutrals counted in the 6.2 Metrics children who in their 12th month of care entered trial reunification as having achieved permanency. Figure 19: Metric 6.2a – Permanency within 12 Months of Removal 55.0% 35.0% 31.8% 33.1% 35.0% 35.7% 28.9% 28.2% 27.2% 28.2% 30.3% 30.6% 31.4% 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% Source: DHS Data The vast majority of children who achieve permanency within 12 months of removal do so through reunification.

Permanency. The CSA requires that DHS establish performance targets for achieving permanency for children and to do so in a timely manner (CSA Section 2.10). DHS and the Co-Neutrals agreed that permanency for children will be defined as reunification, adoption or guardianship and established a suite of metrics to assess DHS’ progress in moving children to permanency. These metrics are listed in the following table. Table 7: Permanency Metrics, Baselines, Targets and Performance Reported by DHS Metric Baseline Target June 30, 2016 Performance
