Purpose
To provide the opportunity to confirm or correct information regarding the location and discharge data of Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) youth in out-of-home care. These data are utilized to create outcomes and comparative reports as well as determine important action dates for Private Child Caring (PCC) and Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) staff.
Recipients
The Monthly Census Reports are available through the CRP web application to PCC residential treatment programs and independent living programs, as well as DCBS workers. Private Child Placing (PCP) foster care programs do not receive these reports. CRP receives data on PCP programs via a weekly download from the PCC tracking system.
Residential and Independent Living Programs

- Acknowledge when no changes for a child are necessary.
- Review and/or edit reported move information.
- Enter unknown move reasons.
- Enter new placement information.
- Enter temporary living conditions and readmissions.
- Remove children that were not in the program during the census month.
