Evaluation Results and Project Status of the CPYP in 2008: Key Findings and Challenges

The 2009 CPYP Conference evaluated the project's progress and outcomes in 2008, focusing on 120 youth tracked over two years. Key findings revealed that 76% of youth formed permanent connections, while sibling relationships were strengthened for 47%. Implementation challenges included staffing decisions and legal permanence issues. Current project status shows that 42% of counties formed permanency teams, with 74% engaging youth in Family Search and Engagement. Future evaluations will focus on achieving legal permanence and consistent definitions of permanent connections.
