This federal grant supports the agency's efforts to facilitate permanent legal guardianship arrangements for children in the state's child welfare system, with a focus on providing financial assistance to relatives who assume guardianship of children previously in foster care. The grant will fund a range of services including guardianship assistance payments, case management, training, and administrative support to help create stable, alternative placement options for vulnerable children in Massachusetts.
