Welcome to ACF

ACF sent letters to 39 governors calling for immediate action to protect vulnerable foster youth in their states. These letters highlight the pressing issue of state child welfare agencies diverting foster youths’ earned Social Security survivor benefits.

ACF launches “A Home for Every Child,” a national initiative that aims to right-size the ratio of foster homes to the number of kids in the foster care system.
