Adults with Child Welfare Involvement
At-Risk of Homelessness.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), intends to collect data
for an evaluation of the initiative,
Planning Grants to Develop a Model
Intervention for Youth/Young Adults
with Child Welfare Involvement At-Risk
of Homelessness. This 2-year initiative,
funded by the Children’s Bureau (CB)
within ACF, will support planning
grants to develop a model for
intervening with youth who have
experienced time in foster care and are
most likely to have a challenging
transition to adulthood, including
homelessness and unstable housing
experiences. CB anticipates awarding up
to 18 planning grants (Phase I). During
the planning phase, organizations will
develop formal plans to implement and
evaluate the model under a potential
future funding opportunity (Phase II).
For Phase I, CB will engage a
contractor to: provide grantees with
evaluation-related technical assistance
(TA), implement evaluability
assessments, and conduct a cross-site
process evaluation. Data collected for
the process evaluation will be used to
assess grantees’ organizational capacity
and readiness to implement and
evaluate the model interventions, and to
conduct regular and periodic
monitoring of each grantee’s progress
toward achieving the goals of the
planning period.
Data for the process evaluation will be
collected through: (1) Telephone
interviews; (2) interviews and focus
groups during site visits; and (3) webbased data collection.
Respondents: Grantee agency
directors and staff; partner agency
directors and staff. Partner agencies may
vary by site, but are expected to include
child welfare, mental health, and youth
housing/homelessness agencies.

Title: State Abstinence Education
Program.
OMB No.: 0970–0381.
Description: The State Abstinence
Program was extended through Fiscal
Year 2014 under Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable
Care Act, hereafter), Public Law 111–
148.
The Family and Youth Services
Bureau (FYSB) is accepting applications
from States and Territories for the
development and implementation of the
State Abstinence Program. The purpose
of this program is to support decisions
to abstain from sexual activity by
providing abstinence programming as

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 710(b)) with a
focus on those groups that are most
likely to bear children out-of-wedlock,

such as youth in or aging out of foster
care.
States are encouraged to develop
flexible, medically accurate and
effective abstinence-based plans
responsive to their specific needs. These
plans must provide abstinence
education, and at the option of the State,
where appropriate, mentoring,
counseling, and adult supervision to
promote abstinence from sexual activity,
with a focus on those groups which are
most likely to bear children out-ofwedlock. An expected outcome for all
programs is to promote abstinence from
sexual activity. Pursuant to the program
announcement, all grantees must report
on performance on a semiannual basis.
OMB approval is requested to solicit
comments from the public on
paperwork reduction as it relates to
ACYF’s receipt of the application, state
plan, and/or semiannual reporting
documents from applicants and
