ECAP

What is ECAP?

The ECAP (Every Child A Priority) system is a research-backed placement matching tool that helps foster care agencies optimize foster family placements for children in their care. By analyzing child and family characteristics, the system identifies the foster families most likely to provide a stable, long-term home for each child or sibling group. University studies have demonstrated that ECAP can improve placement stability by 22.5 and reduce the time to permanency by 12. The tool seamlessly integrates with existing software systems to streamline data management and eliminate redundant entry, allowing agencies to allocate more resources towards supporting families and children. With its data-driven approach to placement decisions, ECAP helps foster care agencies decrease disruptions, expedite permanency, and realize cost savings
