The National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD), required by the Chafee Foster Care Independence Act of 1999, will track the services and outcomes of youth transitioning from foster care. NYTD requires state child welfare agencies to collect outcome data via a survey of all youth that are in foster care after their 17th birthday, then survey a cohort of those young people again at ages 19 and 21. The state must also collect data on all independent living services provided to youth, such as mentoring, academic support, career preparation, and health education.

 

North Dakota requires regular data entry into FRAME under:

• Chafee Independent Living Program Participation
• Independent Living Services
• NYTD Survey

 

Educational tools provided by the Department to meet requirements:

• NYTD Handbook
• FRAME Independent Living Coordinators Guide
