Adoption homestudies and homestudy waiting lists

The adoption homestudies data shows the number of homestudies completed during the fiscal year inclusive of those withdrawn, rejected and approved, conducted by a children's aid society on adoptive applicants. ## Waitlist Reduction Initiative In 2011, the government implemented a three-year strategy to reduce waitlists for adoption homestudies. This homestudy waiting list dataset covers all three years of this strategy. Data shows: * number of families waiting to complete a homestudy * number of homestudies projected to be completed (based on the waitlist reported to the Ministry of Child and Youth Services) * number of homestudies completed with funding from the initiative Data only covers the studies completed with funding under the Structured Analysis Family Evaluation Waitlist Reduction Initiative.
