Data Source
National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) - Services File, FY2018
States report semiannually on all young people receiving any federally funded, Chafee Independent Living Service (ILS). This administrative dataset is released annually. This analysis uses the NYTD Services file for FY2018. Because this dataset only includes information on Chafee-funded services, it will not capture any ILS funded through other sources.
NYTD data are used with the permission of Cornell University’s National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect website, http://www.ndacan.cornell.edu.

Notes
Updated September 2020.
S - Data suppressed due to a low number of individuals for an individual data point (<10), a low number of individuals in a single racial or ethnic group within a state/territory (<25), and/or a low number of overall individuals from a state/territory (<25).
This analysis restricted the dataset to those 14 years or older. Because data is collected semiannually, young people can be included twice in the same fiscal year. To avoid duplicated counts in this analysis, only the most recent record for young people who were receiving services in both reporting periods.
