In addition to fundamentally shifting how children in and out of foster care are supported, the recently-passed Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) includes a number of provisions which directly impact Transition Aged Youth, including limitations on the use of congregate care and changes to the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program.
This webinar continued our exploration of FFPSA, delving into Title II of FFPSA, specifically focusing on the impact on providers of congregate care and residential services that are often targeted at older youth, as well as other provisions of the new law that most impact our transition aged youth. As we discuss each topic, we highlighted the opportunities offered by FFPSA, gaps in the law that might present challenges in implementation, and changes that should be considered to ensure the law achieves its intended goals.
