Federal Grant Award Summary

The New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services received a formula grant award of $136,627.00 from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Chafee Education and Training Vouchers (ETV) Program (CFDA 93.599), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award funds the provision of education and training vouchers to eligible youth in New Hampshire who have experienced foster care at age 14 or older, including those who have aged out of the foster care system or have been adopted. The vouchers support postsecondary education and training opportunities to help this vulnerable population access higher education and skill development pathways.

Under this formula grant, funds are disbursed quarterly and must be coordinated with other federally assisted programs serving the same population. The state agency is required to maintain an approvable five-year plan with annual updates submitted by June 30 each year for approval by September 30, and must comply with the administrative requirements outlined in 45 CFR Part 75. As a principal state-level administrator of federal health and human services programs, NH DHHS leverages its established infrastructure and experience managing substantial federal funding to effectively deliver ETV program services to New Hampshire's youth transitioning from foster care.
