Bureau (CB), announces the award of a single-source expansion
supplement to the Child Welfare League of America, Arlington, VA, to
support the provision of intensive technical assistance to States.
[[Page 62840]]
The Child Welfare League of America is a recipient of a cooperative
agreement to administer the National Resource Center for Child Welfare
Data and Technology (NRC-CWDT) in order to ensure continued support to
States in the development of the National Youth in Transition Database.
The National Youth in Transition Database will assist States, Tribes,
and courts to develop, implement and/or improve effective case
management information systems, or data collection systems, and to use
data to manage child welfare programs in order to improve outcomes for
children, youth, and families.
Section 477 of the Social Security Act authorizes the John H.
Chafee Foster Care Independence Program (CFCIP) and the Chafee
Education and Training Vouchers (ETV) program. It also requires the
creation of a data collection and performance measurement system. The
Federal regulation at 45 CFR 1356.80 establishes the National Youth in
Transition Database (NYTD) implementing this provision. The NYTD
regulation requires States to engage in two data collection activities:
the collect of information on youth and the independent living services
they receive that are paid for or provided by State agencies that
administer the CFCIP and ETV programs and the collection of outcome
information on certain youth in foster care. States must begin
collecting NYTD data on October 1, 2010 and submit the first report
period data to ACF by May 15, 2011.
The supplemental funding will allow the NRC-CWDT to meet the
increased demand for NYTD onsite technical assistance and sponsor
regional meetings without reducing requested technical assistance from
courts and Tribes in the areas of data collection and exchange.
