See draft of revised Comprehensive Resource Development Plan.
Primary Foster Parent Ethnicity SFY 2003
4 th Quarter Federal Response: Does the supplemental documentation the State provides reflect the targeted increases in the numbers
of minority parents per year?
5 th Quarter Report: Increase in minority families has been renegotiated to a 10% increase by September 2004. So as not to be in
conflict with the new federal initiative, elements from the Comprehensive Resource Development Plan will be used in the
implementation of this new recruitment initiative (by DHHS/ACF) 'Recruitment Response Team Planning' involving a national
recruitment and follow-up strategy for resource families for foster care and adoption. Based on the attached table of data from E&R
there has only been a slight increase (2%) in minority families from SFY 2001 TO SFY 2003. See table Primary foster parent
ethnicity. Also, there is an additional 200-300 private agency foster homes that we have not included in our overall count, because a
breakdown by ethnicity is not currently available.
