Chafee Act

The Chafee Act, officially known as the John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Program, is a federal initiative that provides funding to states to support youth aging out of foster care. It offers resources such as education assistance, housing support, employment services, and life skills training to help young adults transition into independent, stable, and productive lives after leaving foster care. The goal is to ensure they have the necessary tools and support to succeed on their own.
