Gross, which sought to require New York City to follow regulations to formally include children who are placed with relatives in the foster care caseload and make them eligible for services. Source: State electronic databases. The dramatic increase of children in kinship care between 1986 and 1991 resulted in nearly equal numbers of placements in kinship and traditional foster care in the three counties reviewed. We estimated that 49 percent of the young children had been placed in kinship care at some time during the 1991 review period, while 53 percent had been placed in traditional foster care. ( See table II. 8 in app. II. ) Some studies contend that the increase in kinship placements may have been due, at least initially, to a shortage of traditional foster homes.
