This $4,417,917 FY 2025 Guardianship Assistance Block Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families to the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The grant provides federal financial support to DCFS to facilitate permanent legal guardianship arrangements for children in the child welfare system, with a focus on supporting relative guardians who assume legal custody of children previously in foster care. Key services funded through this Guardianship Assistance Program (CFDA 93.090) include guardianship assistance payments, case management, training, and administrative support to help vulnerable children achieve permanency and stability. DCFS collaborates with various sub-recipients, including county governments, non-profit organizations, and community service providers, to deliver these localized assistance services across Louisiana.
