On January 1, 2015, a total of about 93 percent of the children in out-of-home care were in a family setting: approximately 52 percent were in foster homes and over 41 percent were with relatives. Nearly seven percent of children in out-of home care were in a non-family setting (e.g., a group home); this is a four percent drop from the percent of children in non-family settings in 2000.
