SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description: The Foster Care Independence Act of 1999, Public Law 106-169 (42 U.S.C. 1305 et seq.), requires State child welfare agencies to collect and report to ACF data on the characteristics of youth receiving independent living services and information regarding their outcomes. The regulation implementing the National Youth in Transition Database, listed in 45 CFR 1356.80, contains standard data collection and reporting requirements for States to meet the law's requirements. Additionally, the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2017, Public Law 115-123 (42 U.S.C. 677(e)) further outlines the expectation of the collection and reporting of data and outcomes regarding youth who are in receipt of independent living services. ACF will continue to use the information collected under the regulation to track independent living services, assess the collective outcomes of youth, and potentially to evaluate State performance with regard to those outcomes consistent with the law's mandate.

Respondents: State agencies that administer the Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee program) report on the young people who are served by the program and who complete the youth outcomes survey.
