Support for Expectant and Parenting Foster Youth Act
Refreshed 3 h ago
Introduced 2026-02-24Topic: social services · public healthSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal Chafee program for youth who have been in foster care (section 477 of the Social Security Act). It adds a new program purpose: connecting foster youth who are pregnant or parenting with home visiting and support services offered under the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. States applying for funds would have to certify that they have processes to give these youth information about home visiting services. States could also use their program funds for tailored case management and resource coordination for expectant or parenting youth. The changes would take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
