Welcome to ACF

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) rescinded 35,781 pages of sub-regulatory guidance, representing 74% of ACF’s total sub-regulatory footprint. This decision demonstrates ACF’s commitment to regulatory efficiency, transparency, and accountability to the American taxpayer.

ACF announced three U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) have been added as prevention services eligible for funding under Title IV-E, which supports children and families involved with the child welfare system. States and tribes can now receive a 50 percent federal match to provide buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone to parents when children are at imminent risk of entering foster care but can remain safely in the home or in a kinship placement with access to these treatments.

New public dashboard provides transparent, state-by-state data on safety and permanency outcomes for children in foster care.

ACF launches “A Home for Every Child,” a national initiative that aims to right-size the ratio of foster homes to the number of kids in the foster care system.
