Formula Grant 2602PRCILP

The Puerto Rico Department of the Family received a $262,425 formula grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, from the Administration on Children Youth and Families (ACYF) under the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (CFDA 93.674). This federal funding supports the department's implementation of comprehensive independent living and transitional support services designed to assist youth aging out of the foster care system in Puerto Rico to achieve successful transitions into adulthood and self-sufficiency.

The grant enables the Puerto Rico Department of the Family to provide targeted financial and programmatic support services to foster youth, including independent living skills development, educational and vocational assistance, and other transitional services necessary to prepare young adults for independent living. As a formula grant program, the award amount is allocated proportionally based on Puerto Rico's foster care population and identified needs. The department administers this program in accordance with applicable federal regulations, including the Uniform Guidance requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, and maintains required documentation and records to support expenditure accountability and program evaluation.
