Makes the first comprehensive reforms to Chafee since its creation in 1999 to improve outcomes for youth aging out of foster care by creating stronger connections to housing, education and workforce programs, and other critical supports.
Codifies several priorities included in the Executive Order, “Fostering the Future for American Children and Families,” championed by First Lady Melania Trump.
Strengthens alignment with Federal housing programs such as the Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) housing voucher.
Expands Education and Training Vouchers (ETVs) for short-term workforce training programs, costs associated with earning a high school diploma, apprenticeships, or remedial education.
Increases the maximum ETV [Education & Training Voucher] cap from $5,000 to $12,000 while maintaining current funding levels and provides greater educational support for foster youth.
Expands access to legal services for foster youth and connects parenting foster youth with evidence-based Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting services.
Prioritizes the importance of lifelong connections by updating Chafee’s purposes.
Nearly 16,000 foster youth “age out” of the child welfare system annually, often without permanent connections to family and face significant challenges in their path to independence.
FLOTUS announces The Fostering The Future Act was passed today in the House and now it needs to pass in the Senate for the Bill to get to President Trump's desk.
Pres. & First Lady, nice post for America!
