Formula Grant 2601UTCILP

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services received a formula grant award of $162,327.00 from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (CFDA 93.674). The award, effective from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027, funds the implementation of independent living programs and support services designed to assist youth transitioning out of foster care in Utah. These services support youth in achieving successful transitions to adulthood and self-sufficiency through targeted financial and programmatic assistance.

Under this formula grant, Utah DHHS delivers comprehensive support services to foster youth and young adults, including independent living skills development, educational and vocational assistance, and personal development resources. The formula grant allocation is distributed on a quarterly basis and requires the state to submit annual plans for approval by the Children's Bureau by June 30th each year. All expenditures must be maintained in accordance with applicable federal record-keeping requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, with quarterly draws available from an established account managed by the Division of Payment Management.
