The Administration on Children, Youth and Families and the Children’s Bureau within the Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families recognizes the central role that Tribal Nations play in the care and protection of children and families. To advance our collaborative efforts in this regard, we extend an invitation to participate in a formal tribal consultation on the “Supporting America’s Children and Families Act” (Public Law 118-258), which reauthorizes and amends Title IV-B of the Social Security Act.
This consultation will focus on the changes to Title IV-B of the Act and their potential impact on Tribes. In summary, the focus areas include the Indian Child Welfare Act, Title IV-B funding for child welfare agencies, the Court Improvement Program, remote hearings, and the Prevention Services Clearinghouse. The consultation is intended to create a meaningful opportunity for dialogue that enhances the effectiveness of child welfare services for Tribal Nations and the people they serve.
