quality of legal representation for
children and youth in child welfare
cases so the States and Tribes achieve
the best safety, permanency and wellbeing outcomes for children and youth.
This systems improvement model
supports three research and
demonstration sites, each involving a
rigorous evaluation. Given the
complexity of the models being
implemented, considerable training,
technical assistance, monitoring and
support are necessary for each site to
design and implement evaluation plans.
Program expansion supplement funds
will allow for an increased level of effort
in conducting the evaluations in order
to meet the requirements of the
cooperative agreement. Additional
training, technical assistance, and
support to each research and
demonstration site, coupled with more
intensive monitoring of site specific
evaluation efforts, will enhance the
depth and rigor of all evaluation results.
The supplemental funding will also
afford QIC-ChildRep the opportunity to
provide new or modified technical
assistance to assist States and Tribes in
implementing the Administration on
Children, Youth and Families’ wellbeing framework in the context of the
new requirements of the Child and
Family Services Improvement and
Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–34).
Statutory Authority: Section 203 (42
U.S.C. 5113) of the Child Abuse Prevention
and Treatment and Adoption Reform Act
(CAPTA) of 1978, (Pub. L. 95–266), as

Youth Development, in Tulsa, OK, to
provide technical assistance to States to
devise effective procedures and
strategies to implement National Youth
in Transition Database regulations
effectively.
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Children’s
Bureau (CB) announces the award of a
single-source program expansion
supplement in the amount of $103,685
to the University of Oklahoma, National
Resource Center for Youth
Development, Tulsa, OK, to support
expanded technical assistance to
address emerging technical assistance
needs for States and Tribes as they seek
to implement legislation and changing
programs dedicated to former foster
youth. The grantee is the recipient of a
cooperative agreement to administer the
National Resource Center for Youth
Development (NRCYD). The grantee has
been providing technical assistance
services through a cooperative
agreement since September 30, 2009,
pursuant to the legislative authority of
the Promoting Safe and Stable Families
Program, Section 436(d), Title IV–B,
subpart 2, of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 629e).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
February 2008, the National Youth in
Transition Database (NYTD) final
regulation was promulgated. NYTD
requires States to begin collecting
information from youth in foster care
and young adults formerly in foster care
every six months, beginning October 1,
2010. State representatives continue to
identify implementation of NYTD as a
significant challenge, particularly since
it will require State agencies to remain
in contact with youth who may no
longer be receiving services from the
agency. The implementation of NYTD
will require the NRCYD to continue to
provide additional technical assistance
to States to implement this regulation
effectively.
Additionally, many States see the
implementation of NYTD as a method to
engage youth and to strengthen youth
involvement in services at the State and
local level. This type of youth
engagement work involves long-term
systemic technical assistance. The
single-source expansion supplement
will allow the NRCYD to support these
State initiatives over the long term.

Another significant development
affecting the provision of services to
youth and young adults was the passage
of the Fostering Connections to Success
and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008,
Public Law 110–351, signed into law
October 7, 2008. Among other
provisions, the law requires States to
develop a transition plan for all youth
emancipating from foster care and
provides States and Tribes an option to
receive Federal reimbursement under
title IV–E of the Social Security Act to
extend foster care to older youth until
age 21. In addition, the law for the first
time provided an opportunity for certain
Tribes to receive direct funding for
independent living services and
education and training vouchers under
the Chafee Foster Care Independence
Program. The single-source program
expansion supplement grant will allow
the NRCYD to provide more intensive
technical assistance and on-site
consultation to States and Tribes to
continue to assist them in implementing
these provisions.
The supplemental funding will afford
the National Resource Center for Youth
Development the opportunity to provide
new or modified technical assistance to
assist States and Tribes in implementing
the Administration on Children, Youth
and Families’ well-being framework in
the context of the new requirements of
the Child and Family Services
Improvement and Innovation Act (Pub.
L. 112–34).
