Definition: Of all children in care on the first day of the fiscal year who had been in care between 12 and 23 months, the percentage that are discharged to permanency within 12 months.

Denominator: Number of children in substitute care on the first day of the fiscal year who had been in substitute care between 12 and 23 months.

Numerator: Number of children who are discharged to permanency (reunification, living with relative, adoption, or guardianship) within 12 months of the first day of the fiscal year.

Exclusions
Youth who turned age 18 while in care and were discharged to permanency at age 18 are excluded from the numerator.

A Note on Totals
The per-year totals for this measure ("ALL CHILDREN") reflect the total numbers of children with valid values for the breakdown being viewed. Since counts may be culled from records missing geographic, demographic or placement type information, totals between breakdowns may not be identical. For example, adding counts for all age groups for a given year may not produce the same result as adding races, since there may be missing races and/or ages in the population.

A Note on Race
If the value of the primary race is Native American/Alaska Native, Asian, or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders, it was coded as "Other." If the value of primary race was "could not be verified," "unknown," "declined to identify," or missing (null), it was treated as missing and excluded when indicators are reported by race/ethnicity.

The data used to compute this measure come from two Illinois DCFS data systems: the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS) and the Child and Youth Centered Information System (CYCIS). Both the SACWIS data and the CYCIS data were extracted on March 31, 2024. They were calculated based on the state fiscal year, which spans the 12-month period from July 1 to June 30.
