Abstract
YOUTHS IN THE DIVISION OF YOUTH SERVICES FOSTER GROUP HOME PROGRAM HAVE BEEN PLACED ON PROBATION BY THE FLORIDA JUVENILE COURTS, OR FURLOUGHED FROM A STATE TRAINING SCHOOL. PROJECTED FIGURES OF CHILDREN POTENTIALLY REQUIRING PLACEMENT AND A COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS, CONTAINED IN THIS PAPER, INDICATE THAT EXTENSION OF THIS PROGRAM IS JUSTIFIABLE AND ECONOMICAL. INCLUDED IS A CHART SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE ELEVEN FOSTER GROUP HOMES, THEIR OPENING DATES, AND POPULATION OF THE CHILDREN SERVICED AS OF MARCH 1973.
