The South Dakota Department of Public Safety received a $100,000 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, under the Grants to States for Access and Visitation Programs (CFDA 93.597). This two-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, supports the creation and implementation of programs that facilitate access and visitation for non-custodial parents with their children. Funded activities include mediation, counseling, education, and development of parenting plans to promote healthy co-parenting relationships and increase non-custodial parent involvement. The Department of Public Safety, as the designated state administering agency, will oversee the distribution of these funds to county governments, non-profit organizations, and community service providers to deliver these access and visitation services at the local level across South Dakota.
