Arizona Launches New Title IV-E ‘Fostering Sustainable Connections’ Program
On August 25, 2016, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) announced that in July 2016 it had launched a new Title IV-E demonstration project called “Fostering Sustainable Connections.” The program will help connect youth living in group homes and shelters with extended family and other supportive adults. The goal is to reduce the number of youth living in non-family setting and increase the number of youth who have positive relationships with adults.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) approved Arizona’s waiver proposal in September 2014. The demonstration is slated to run through . . .
