Overview
The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) reforms federal financing with the intention of keeping children safely at home, and if that is not possible, utilizing the least restrictive placement based on the needs of the child. FFPSA limits Title IV-E care and maintenance payments for “child care institutions” (e.g., agency operated boarding home, group home, group residence, institutions), and authorizes use of Title IV-E funds for certain types of prevention services. Because New York State has requested a 2-year delay for FFPSA implementation, FFPSA will begin in New York on September 29th, 2021.
OCFS has created a variety of reports, tools and other resources to help with FFPSA planning and implementation. Under the tools and resources section, you will find tools designed to help you interact with and interpret the data reports provided. The Statewide and Regional Data section contains reports aggregated at the New York State, New York City, Rest of State (ROS) level, with ROS further broken out by OCFS regional office divisions. Statewide data reports containing county-level break-outs can also be found here. Data reports limited to a single county within the state is available under the County Level Data section.

FFPSA Goal Monitoring Worksheet
The FFPSA Goal Monitoring Worksheet is meant to help counties monitor their goals in preparation for FFPSA implementation. It can be used in conjunction with Data Warehouse or Outcome Monitoring reports to determine the number of children that the county would need to move (either into relative homes or out of institution/group care) to meet their FFPSA goals.
Data Warehouse Videos
Video 1: New FFPSA Reports - This video takes you through the new FFPSA reports available in the Data Warehouse. The video goes through how to access the reports, how to run the reports, and how the reports can be interpreted. Video 2: Kinship Care and Outcome Monitoring Reports - This video provides details on kinship care and outcome monitoring reports. It is recommended that you watch Video 1 first. The Dashboard provides an interactive tool for users to navigate regional / county FFPSA implementation data.
OCFS provides quarterly updates on the percentage of children living in certified foster boarding home, kinship foster home, institution/group care, supervised independent living program, and those in trial discharge. This data will help with monitoring your FFPSA congregate care and kin care goals. This report provides the number of homes and the number of beds for non-relative and relative foster boarding homes and for congregate care. This report provides the number of relative and non-relative certified/approved homes and beds and the number that has been active in the last 6 months.
The Aggregate MAPS Care Days report will tell you the number of children counted and the number of days in care in each of the following setting types: foster boarding home, approved relative home, adoptive home, institution, group residence, group home, supervised independent living (SILP), agency operated boarding home, and other setting over time. Data is updated annually. The Relative Trend Report provides detailed information about the number of children admitted and/or discharged to different types of relative placements from 2019 to the most recently available year. Included in the report are: children placed with relatives at initial admission; those admitted to different types of relative care, including direct placement; those discharged to relatives, including discharges to KinGAP. Data is updated annually. This report provides a point-in-time look at all children in care on a specific date, and can be used to understand the demographics and histories of children in care on any given day. The report is broken out by setting type (e.g., certified foster boarding home, kinship foster home, institution, group home, group residence, agency operating boarding home, supervised independent living program, and those in trial discharge), allowing for comparisons among these groups. Other variables in this report include demographic information, case type, case status (child is in 24-hour care or absent), child goal, time in facility and time in care. These reports provide a point-in-time look at all children in care and is organized first by home county and then by voluntary agency (or first by voluntary agency and then by home county), allowing users to see how many children from each county are housed within a particular agency on a specific date. The report also provides break outs by setting type (e.g., certified foster boarding home, kinship foster home, institution, group home, group residence, agency operating boarding home, supervised independent living program, and those in trial discharge), allowing for comparisons among these groups. Other variables in this report include demographic information, case type, case status (child is in 24-hour care or absent) and by gender.Statewide and Regional Data
