Proposed Projects:
Title: National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) and Youth
Outcomes Survey.
OMB No.: 0970-0340.
Description: The John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful
Transition to Adulthood (42 U.S.C. 677, as amended by Pub. L. 115-123,
the Family First Prevention Services Act within Division E, Title VII
of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018) requires State child welfare
agencies to collect and report to the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) data on the characteristics of youth receiving
independent living services and information regarding their outcomes.
The regulation implementing the National Youth in Transition Database
(NYTD), listed in 45 CFR 1356.80, contains standard data collection and
reporting requirements for States to meet the law's requirements. ACF
uses the information collected under the regulation to track
independent living services, assess the collective outcomes of youth,
and assess performance with regard to those outcomes, consistent with
the law's mandate.
Respondents: State agencies (including agencies of the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) that administer the
John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to
Adulthood.
