Reporting Data
Every Year
Every year, we publish multiple reports to give the Legislature and Nebraskans a clear, data-driven view of how children and youth in out-of-home care are faring. This includes quarterly reports, an annual report, and occasional special-topic reports required by statute. Each publication combines case reviews, statewide trends, and actionable recommendations for improvement.
This page serves as the hub for all of our reports, making it easy to explore the most recent findings or review past reports. Together, these insights help guide decisions and drive our mission to ensure that children and youth in foster care have the opportunity for a safe, stable, and hopeful future.

State Ward Permanency Pilot Report
March 24, 2015
LB905 (2014) created the State Ward Permanency Pilot as of July 1, 2014, providing $1,500,000 in general funds. The Project serves state wards who are eligible for services through the DHHS Division of Developmental Disabilities, but do not qualify for priority funding under the Developmental Disabilities Service Act. State wards receiving an enhanced level of care or otherwise assessed to have above-average habilitative needs are to be given priority to participate in the pilot.
