Several strategies, including promoting use of family searches and placements, Custody Assistance, and ”child-specific recruitment” techniques by local departments of social services, will be implemented in FY 2013. 2013 74.2 72.6 73.4 74.4 2014 75.9 77.0 77.5 77.2 2015 78.2 78.2 77.6 77.6 2016 78.5 77.0 77.5 77.4 2017 76.9 78.8 80.6 82.4 2018 81.3 80.4 78.9 77.1 2019 76.3 72.8 76.2 76.3 2020 75.6 73.2 74.6 75.6 2021 76.8 80.9 80.8 80.4 2022 79.5 78.7 77.7 77.6 This decrease in exits to permanency may be attributable to the COVID-19 public health emergency. 2023 77.4 76.5 76.6 StandIn X
