Out-of-Home Care

Funding details for Special Education Out-of-Home Care.

Out-of-Home Care Funding calculates funding to each special education local plan area (SELPA) for foster youth, pupils placed in the short-term residential therapeutic program, community treatment facilities, and three other types of facilities located within a SELPA’s geographic boundaries.

Assembly Bill 121 (Chapter 8, Statutes of 2025) amended Education Code Section 56836.168 to include the average daily population of community treatment facilities in the funding formula, effective with the Annual certification for Fiscal Year 2024–25. This change is reflected on the 2024–25 Annual Out-of-Home Care Funding exhibit.
