The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is requesting public comments on extending current data collection activities for the Chafee Foster Care Program, which helps young adults transition to adulthood. This involves interviews, focus groups, and data collection to evaluate the program's effectiveness. The ACF is asking for feedback on the necessity, utility, and efficiency of the proposed data collection methods and encourages suggestions to minimize the burden on respondents. Comments should be submitted within 60 days of publication to ensure they are considered in evaluating the program's readiness for further assessment.
Simple Explanation
The Administration for Children and Families wants more time to ask young people leaving foster care about how they’re doing, using interviews and group discussions to see if their program is helpful. They're inviting people to suggest easier ways to gather this info without taking too much time.
