The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families has awarded a $250,000 Formula Grant under the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (CFDA 93.674) to the Human Services Vermont Agency Of. This 2-year grant, with a period of performance from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, supports programs designed to assist youth who experienced foster care at age 14 or older, or who left foster care for adoption or kinship guardianship after age 16. The grant enables the Human Services Vermont Agency Of to provide comprehensive services tailored to support the transition of these vulnerable youth to independent adulthood, including programs addressing education, workforce development, mental health, and social services. The Human Services Vermont Agency Of, as the primary state organization responsible for managing social welfare programs in Vermont, will leverage this Formula Grant to deliver a range of critical support services to aid foster youth in achieving successful independent living and personal development. The agency will collaborate with the Vermont Department of Public Safety, a state government sub-awardee, to implement initiatives that enhance community resilience, public safety, and emergency preparedness in support of the target population.
