**Instructions: Please number each response and include the question topic in bold. The questions below should not be repeated in your response.

Include an assessment of overall community, resettlement services, and linkages for URMs after emancipation.

3. Foster Care: Describe how foster care families are selected, trained, and supported.

4. Placement Options: Describe the range of placement options available to minors.

5. Physical Presence: Describe the physical presence requirements in order for guardianship/conservatorship to be established for the minor.
