Information on Document Title: Family Preservation and Family Support Services OMB No.: 0980--New Request Description: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 authorizes entitlement funding to States and certain Indian tribes and Tribal organizations for family preservation and family support services. A major purpose of family preservation services is to help alleviate family crises that otherwise might lead to the foster care placement of children. Such services include intensive in-home services, respite care, and services for adoptive parents. A major purpose of family support services is to provide preventive services to families to help alleviate stress (e.g., to prevent child abuse), increase parents' child-rearing abilities and parenting skills, and assist families to use other available community resources. Such services include center-based services, home visiting, and early developmental screening of children. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking implementing the new Family Preservation and Family Support Service program was published in the Federal Register October 4, 1994, (59 FR 50646). a.
