Federal Grant Award Summary

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services received a $208,285 formula grant award from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Chafee Education and Training Vouchers Program (CFDA 93.599), obligated on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. This award provides resources to deliver education and training vouchers to youth 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 access to postsecondary education and training opportunities that enable these vulnerable youth to pursue educational advancement and skill development.

Under this formula grant program, Utah DHHS will distribute quarterly allotments of funds to eligible beneficiaries while maintaining coordination with other federally assisted programs serving the same population. The state is required to maintain a five-year strategic plan with annual updates submitted by June 30 each year, subject to approval by September 30. All program activities must comply with 45 CFR Part 75 administrative requirements and maintain comprehensive records in accordance with applicable federal regulations governing grant management and accountability.
