Federal Grant Award Summary

The Georgia Department of Human Services, operating through its Family & Children Services division, received a $910,482 Formula Grant award from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) under the MaryLee Allen Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program (CFDA 93.556) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award specifically supports caseworker visitation services as a component of the broader PSSF initiative, which aims to prevent child maltreatment among at-risk families and ensure children's safety within home environments through supportive family services.

The funding enables Georgia DHS to maintain and enhance child welfare caseworker visitation activities, which constitute a critical preventive intervention under the PSSF program. These services are designed to provide direct family support and monitoring to vulnerable households, facilitating child protection and family preservation objectives. As part of its comprehensive child welfare portfolio, Georgia DHS coordinates this PSSF funding with other federal and state programs to deliver integrated services that address child abuse and neglect prevention while strengthening family stability across Georgia.
