Kentucky's Compliance with Requirements for Children in Foster Care Who Resided in Qualified Residential Treatment Programs

Announced on  | Last Modified on  | Project Number: OAS-24-05-010
Status
Active
Agency
Administration for Children and Families

OBJECTIVE

Title IV-E of the Social Security Act established the Federal Foster Care Program, which provides funding to States for safe and stable out-of-home care for children who meet certain eligibility requirements. The Family First Prevention Services Act of 2018 created a new category of child care institutions, called qualified residential treatment programs, designed to address the needs of children with serious emotional or behavioral disorders or disturbances. We plan to perform audits of selected States to determine compliance with Federal and State requirements related to children in foster care who were eligible for assistance under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act and resided in qualified residential treatment programs.
