Local District Foster Boarding Home Rate
As mentioned elsewhere, foster care boarding home rates differ significantly in NYS's 58 social services districts (i.e. counties) as each local district is allowed to set its own rates within state guidelines. Although New York is a state supervised, locally administered system, NYS OCFS does not routinely collect, or maintain, rate information for individual social services districts. During the summer of 2009 NYSCCC conducted a statewide telephone survey and compiled local rate information from New York's 58 local social services districts. Information below is current as of 10/09, we recommend you contact the local Department of Social Services directly to verify current rates. Please contact us at info@nysccc.org if information for your agency is incorrect or missing.
