The Ohio Department of Children and Youth Services received a $1,477,600 formula grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (CFDA 93.674). This grant funds the implementation of support services designed to assist youth transitioning out of the foster care system in Ohio, with a focus on helping these youth achieve successful transitions into adulthood and self-sufficiency.

The grant supports a range of independent living services and programmatic support delivered directly and through sub-awards to local educational agencies, health departments, universities, and community-based organizations across Ohio's counties. Services provided under this award include independent living skill development, financial assistance for transitional support, and targeted interventions designed to facilitate youth's independent living capabilities and personal development as they age out of the foster care system. Award funds are distributed quarterly up to one-fourth of the state's annual allotment, with recipients required to maintain detailed records and comply with applicable federal administrative requirements under 2 CFR Part 200.
