Foster youth reported on their current household composition and family networks. Cluster analysis identified family network profiles within and beyond foster homes. Two profiles reflect relative placements and robust family networks. Three profiles show fewer family connections within or beyond the foster home. Profiles showed differences in caregiver reports of post-traumatic stress symptoms.
