Permanency. The CSA requires that DHS establish performance targets for achieving permanency for children and to do so in a timely manner (CSA Section 2.10). DHS and the Co-Neutrals agreed that permanency for children will be defined as reunification, adoption or guardianship and established a suite of metrics to assess DHS’ progress in moving children to permanency. These metrics are listed in the following table. 6.1: Of children who are legally free not living in an adoptive placement as of Jan. 10, 20149, the percent to achieve permanency.
