Data Source
DC Child and Family Services Agency. CFSA began using a new data system, the Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (STAAND), in 2025. During the transition, some information did not transfer perfectly, which has affected the accuracy of certain data. As new data is reviewed, CFSA will identify and fix any issues found. Updated FY25 information will appear here based on any CFSA updates.
