A transfer refers to a child in care who is moved from one of your programs to another one of your programs operated under the same permit or at the same location. For example, a child may transfer from one foster home in which he was receiving treatment services to another foster home that offers a transitional living program. A child may also transfer from your child-placing agency to your general residential operation, if your child-placing agency office is located on the same property as your general residential operation. This term does not apply if the child experiences a change in programs or services but remains in the same foster home. This term also does not apply if the child moves from one foster home to another for a reason other than a need for different services/programming, such as moving to be closer to siblings.
